Find out how you can create a lovely tulip using an egg carton cup and a chenille stem.

  • Age Guideline: 4 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 30 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

 

Materials Needed:

Instructions:
Carefully cut individual cups off the egg carton. Next, cut points along the top of each cup so they looks like tulips. Poke a hole in the bottom of an egg carton cup and push one end of a green pipe cleaner up through the hole and roll the end a little so it cannot slip back out of the hole.

That is all you need to do to construct these egg carton tulips! if desired, you can cut leaves out of construction paper and glue them onto the chenille stems.
