Upcycled Egg Carton Owls Craft Idea

Owls Made From Egg Cartons

Hi my crafty friends! It’s that time of the month again! The Kids Craft Stars and I are joining forces to bring you our MONTHLY craft challenge post. This time I have a great little project to share using recycled materials as the focal point!

Every month we have a challenge between us bloggers to in-cooperate a different craft medium or technique into a great project tutorial. This month’s challenge was to in-cooperate egg cartons and boy did we have fun recycling & crafting with this material!

So without further ado – today I present to you our simple and inexpensive Egg Carton Owls Kid Craft tutorial! It’s so much fun for kids of all ages!

Using just a simple leftover egg carton from our Easter celebrations, it was the perfect canvas to make the body of our owls. Then with just some creativity, tons of colored feathers and glue – our HOOT-TASTIC friends came to life in no time!

If you would like to make this easy and affordable owl kid craft idea with your child today, check out the full tutorial below. I just know you are going to have a HOOT making these with your child today! Happy crafting my friends!

Instructions:

  • First tear off the lid from the egg carton. Discard the egg cups portion.
  • Now take the lid and cut it in half. Each half piece of the egg carton will be an owl’s body {so you now can make TWO owls today.}
  • Now you will want to trim down the other egg carton piece {the one with the compartments} to give the look of the eyes/beak of an owl {see the above picture for example}
  • When you have your pieces cut out, it’s time to paint the nose and glue on the eyes in their designated spots.
  • Next have children glue on the owl’s wings {feathers} to the lid portion of the egg carton.
  • To finish off the craft, glue on the eyes/nose portion to the egg carton lid with the feathers, to complete your owl.
  • Then add other embellishments {maybe some glitter or rhinestones!} that you see fit or go straight to showing them off when the glue is completely dry!
