Get ready to unlock your inner artist – let’s get started on creating beautiful egg carton cherry blossom branches together!
Craft Supplies:
- Recycled Egg Carton
- Paper Craft Scissors
- Pink Craft Paint
- Brown Craft Paint
- One Small Paper Plate
- Two Paint Brushes
- School Glue
- Jumbo Popsicle Stick
- White Tissue Paper
- Pink Tissue Paper
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!
