Egg trays are one of the most available materials for needlework. Flowers create a mood on a rainy day, decorate the interior and become an indispensable gift for any woman. In this article we invite you to learn about how to do beautiful flowers from egg cartons. Once you learn how to make basic preparations, you can assemble bouquets and decorate wreaths or photo frames. Since cardboard egg trays are an environmentally friendly material, even children can work with them.
Materials:
- egg trays;
- brush;
- dye;
- tape;
- glue;
- wire.
First of all, you need to divide the tray into separate sections and give them the shape of petals. By forming petals of different heights, you can make several blanks for a flower.
After this, you can place the blanks one inside the other. In order for the petals to fit tightly in the center, one blank needs to be cut. Can cut out extra petals and glue them into the center.
The flower is ready! If you want to decorate your burlap wreath, you can leave the flowers unpainted or spray paint them.
If you are planning to make a bouquet of cardboard flowers, it is better to paint the blanks before gluing the flower.
There are other methods for cutting flowers from egg trays. As in the previous case, you need to cut the box into sections in which the eggs were previously stored.
After this, 4 cuts are made on each section, the part is slightly straightened, and after that 4 more cuts are made again. These are future petals, each of which needs to be given rounded shape. When the workpiece is ready, you can start painting acrylic paints or gouache. Make stamens out of cardboard and paint them yellow. Place the flowers and stamens on the wire and secure.
It is noteworthy that cardboard egg trays make a beautiful photo frame that you can give to your loved one or friend. Flowers are cut out according to any of the patterns and glued to thick cardboard or chipboard.
You can decorate to your taste and create real masterpieces. Modern needlewomen have even been able to make flower lanterns from egg cartons.

To do this, an LED was inserted into the center instead of the stamen. You can come up with your own shape of flowers and make a wreath or other product for interior decor.
The papier-mâché technique is in great demand not only as a way to create beautiful crafts, interior items, but also as one of the types of recycling of outdated newspapers and egg cartons. This skill is now very widespread, used in educational institutions, including kindergartens. The created products are durable, smooth and resistant to weather conditions, so they can be placed in rooms, left outside, as an element of decor in the courtyard of a private house or garden.
The technique involves the use of two techniques - pasting a certain base with pieces of newspaper or sculpting from a special mass. In this case, egg trays are often used. By collecting them, you can make a sculpture large enough for a winter or summer garden. And all you need are egg trays, water, glue.
PVA is the most common option. Its advantages include ease of use and the ability to form a waterproof film on the surface of the craft. This allows you not to use varnish to cover the surface in the future and expose the products outside without fear that they may become deformed.
Craftsmen often use wallpaper glue.
But for papier-mâché it should be diluted a little with water. Crafts made using such an adhesive composition will not be “afraid” of mold and mildew.
If it is not possible to purchase glue in a store, you can weld a well-known and affordable paste at home.
Using cheap components, especially egg trays, which are almost always thrown away, you can make any little things and decorate your living room, nursery, or kitchen with them. Often, with the help of this technique, craftsmen create beautiful sets for decorating the kitchen, desk lamp as fairy-tale heroes, or Egyptian cats for living room decor.
A special feature of the technique and the main key to success is the accuracy of the sculpting. One of the important factors is to let each piece of the craft dry thoroughly. In this case, it will not fall apart or change over time.
You can make beautiful flowers using glue and egg trays.
For this you will need:
Depending on how many flowers you plan to make, you will need a certain number of pieces of wire. There can be 3, 5, 7, 9, 12 - as many as you like. By the way, for flowers you can make a beautiful vase using the papier-mâché technique.
The adhesive composition is pre-prepared: the egg trays are soaked in warm water, after swelling, the water is drained and PVA or paste is added. The composition should have the consistency of not liquid, but not thick sour cream.
First of all, you need to stick the composition onto the wire. Moreover, if you plan to make a rose, you must immediately mold a stem with thorns. Leave until completely dry.
Flowers and leaves are made using the sculpting technique. They can be of different sizes, curved shapes or have smooth contours. To understand how to make them, it’s enough to remember how crafts are made from plasticine. The technique is identical.
All parts of the flowers are covered with white. It is better to give preference to gouache or acrylic coatings. Any paint can then be easily applied to them. After drying, the parts are painted in the appropriate colors: green for the stem, red, orange, yellow for the flowers, depending on what type of flowers is chosen.
The buds are attached to the stems with hot glue. Finally, the surfaces are torn with a colorless nail base. You can place butterflies and ladybugs on flowers.
Hedgehog. A hedgehog will look beautiful and original in a garden with flowers, and you don’t need expensive components to make it. A papier-mâché hedgehog for the garden is a wonderful decorative element. You can mold a whole family of them. The main thing is to show maximum imagination. The hedgehog is based on an ordinary light bulb, because its structure resembles a hedgehog. But, it is possible to make an animal by sculpting it from a mass of papier-mâché (egg trays, water, glue).
If the method of using the base is chosen, the light bulb is pre-lubricated with oil so that it is not difficult to remove later. Things will go faster if you have two light bulbs at hand. The composition is applied to half the base, and you immediately need to form the animal’s face and spines. After drying, the halves of the future craft are removed and glued together with “Moment”. The legs are made from adhesive.
The craft is covered with acrylic and painted in the appropriate color. Eyes and nose are drawn with a marker.
Gnome. Thanks to the papier-mâché technique, craftsmen make most interesting compositions. And if there is artistic talent, then there is the opportunity to create large sculptures for the garden, for example a gnome. Of course, it will take a lot more time to make, because street gnomes are quite voluminous sculptures. And here it is important that each part dries well for the strength and durability of the structure.
Will be needed:
The plastic container and the ball are covered with a mass of papier-mâché. After drying, the bases are removed, and the cut halves of the body and head are glued together. A mass of papier-mâché is connected to each other. The face and hands are formed from the adhesive composition. After a while - the remaining parts - headdress, fingers, legs. After drying - cheeks, nose, eyes, beard. There is nothing complicated about this, the most important thing is that the material must dry well, so there will be a lot of it even if it is damaged of this rule the sculpture will “float”. You can make a gnome for the garden in different poses - he can sit, stand or look out, as your imagination dictates.
