Egg-Carton Blooms + Kid’s Table
Egg-Carton Blooms: 20 min + drying | Vases: 5 min + soaking | Ages 4+ with supervision
Our inspiration this Easter, was the egg carton, instead of the egg! We’ve been crushing on Egg-carton Blooms for awhile (our favorite here), and wanted to create a no-glue version for our Kid’s Easter Tabletop. Happily, we found it so easy to make these blooms, we had time to explore other crafts using the same materials. Check out our bonus blog post: Egg-Carton Bloom Jewelry + Easter Sunday Crafts. ...In the meantime, enjoy making this Easter table with your kiddos.
