Directions for Making the Sunflower Egg Carton Craft

1. Use scissors to cut off one section of your egg carton and round the edge.

 

2. Cut from the outer edge towards the center numerous times. Try to space out your cuts somewhat evenly.

 

3. Press the resulting petals down to create your sunflower shape.

4. Paint your egg carton sunflower yellow. We used a couple coats of acrylic paint.

5. Crumple up little squares of brown tissue paper and glue them into the center of your sunflower. (You can also use mini pompoms or even real sunflower seeds.)
