Thrifty Thursdays ~ Eggshell or Egg Carton Tulips

Supplies needed:

• Eggshells (or foam egg cartons sections)
• Green pipe cleaners
• Tempera paint and markers
• Hot glue or white glue

Directions

• Clean eggshell halves and dry them gently. Or, for an easier craft with more durable flowers, use foam egg carton sections. Cut the cartons sections to look like a tulip.
• Using tempera paint, decorate the shells to look like tulips. Let the paint dry overnight. When the paint is completely dry, add details to the tulips using markers.
• Twirl one end of a green pipe cleaner into a spiral shape (this will be glued onto the base of the tulip).
• Glue the spiral to the tulip (if using white glue, let it set for a few hours).
• Enjoy!
