Directions:

Grab your egg carton and scissors.
Remove the lid and discard it.
Now carefully separate each section of the remaining egg crate. You will want to pull aside TWO egg carton pieces for each cherry blossom branch you will be making today.
Now grab your small paper plate and two shades of paint color.
Squirt a small amount of each on the paper plate.
Now take ONE egg carton piece and paint the inside & outside of it completely pink.
Then before the paint dries completely, cut a small square of each colored tissue paper, scrunch it up with your hands and place it inside the “cherry blossom” so it will dry in place.
Repeat the above steps for the second egg carton piece.
Next grab ONE jumbo popsicle stick.
Paint one side of it completely brown to represent the tree branch.
To finish off the Egg Carton Cherry Blossom, glue the two finished egg carton pieces to the popsicle stick.
Then let it dry completely before you display proudly!
Repeat ALL the steps above per branch craft.
Remember – if you make quite a few of these, you can arrange them to actually look like a tree!
