Here we show you how to make your own egg carton poppy field craft activity at home. You can also adapt it to create other flowers.
Thanks to Tanvi, from New Delhi in India, who sent in this great egg carton poppy fields idea. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
To make these flowers I cut up the egg carton and then V and I painted them red inside and outside.
Then next I used different black color things (black pompoms, black pipe cleaner cut into pieces, black mustard seeds and black lentils) to put in as seeds.
Finally I hot glued green pipe cleaners to make pretty poppy flowers.
The use of egg cartons was a great way to recycle them. Also, the process was quite simple and the end result amazing!
Do you have any other projects planned?
I am planning to make a cardboard and yarn owl for the autumn theme.
