Before you throw out those egg cartons after dying eggs for Easter – set them aside so you can craft up something super AWESOME out of them!

Yes – you read that right! We are going to upcycle a simple and rather inexpensive egg carton into a creative piee you would have never thought of before! So whether you make egg carton owls, a tree or our latest Recycled Egg Carton Fox tutorial- I just hope we inspire some creativity within you today!

So save a few dollars and use recycled materials for some craft time with your child today! You can find ALL the details you need to know in the tutorial below, so you can recreate this egg carton fox piece with your child this afternoon!

Recycled Egg Carton Fox Craft Supplies:

* Large Egg Carton {empty/clean}
* Orange Craft Paint
* Black Craft Paint
* White Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes {small and large}
* Small Paper Plate
* Orange Colored Cardstock
* School Glue or Hot Glue Gun
* Craft Scissors
* Small Black Pom Pom {one per fox craft}

Directions:

* First take the egg carton and separate the lid from the compartment section. Discard the lid {or save it for another awesome project!}
* Now you are left with the section that has all the compartments. Go ahead and trim out a section with two egg compartments {side by side piece} from one of the ends. This is the head of the fox {see my picture for an example}
* Next have children paint their egg carton piece completely orange, with white and black eyes in the center of each egg compartment.
* To finish off the Egg Carton Fox craft, cut out two triangle ears from your cardstock and glue them to the finished egg carton piece.
* Then add other embellishments {like a black pom pom nose} that you see fit or go straight to showing it off!
* Don’t forget to share pictures with us of your creations, on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
