How to Make Gift Wrap Using an Egg Carton

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Cynthia submitted these instructions for making a fun gift box from an egg carton.

Materials Needed:

  • Egg cartons
  • Paint
  • Stickers or glitter to decorate
  • Clear tape or masking tape
  • Tissues
  • Piece of jewelry or any small gift item

Instructions:
First, cut out 2 egg carton cups. Tape the 2 egg carton pieces together only on one part side, so it makes a hinge. Paint the egg carton box with any color and let it dry. Lastly, you can decorate it with stickers or other embellishment items.

Stuff tissue paper inside the little round gift giving box and put your small gift item or piece of jewelry into the box.
