Fancy Feathered Friends

Turn recycled cardboard egg cartons into colorful fancy birds! This simple craft is a fun project to do during spring.

What you will need:

  • Egg carton (paper-based works best with paint)
  • Acrylic paint
  • Paintbrush
  • Tacky glue
  • Colored feathers
  • Small, black seed beads
  • Eggs (hardboiled, blown, wooden, or plastic)

 

How to make it:

  1. For each egg holder, cut a cup from the egg carton.
  2. Paint the cup inside and out.
  3. Let it dry, then fold over a portion of the egg carton to make the beak. Paint the beak.
  4. Glue on the tail feathers and bead eyes and put the painted egg in the cup.
