Don't throw away egg cartons! Instead, make these 15 wonderful things with them

Despite our efforts to be green and take care of the environment and the planet, sometimes it's hard to know what to do with all the items we want to throw away.

Should I throw it away? Throw in the recycling bin? Should I save and do other things? Due to too much sorting, it's hard to find the arms and legs.

One of the things that almost everyone has at home is eggs. And the cartons the eggs come in can become so many wonderful and unique things. Think how many other things we have at home that we can use for other things.

It is indeed a small step, but in the end many such small steps make the world a cleaner place for future generations.

So here are 15 wonderful things you can make from egg cartons:

1. Daffodils

The middle part of the flower is actually the hollow part of the cardboard but upside down. Paint with acrylic paints in the colors you want.

2. Colorful garlands

Take the hollow part of the cardboard and cut it into the shape you want the flowers to be. Paint them as colorful as you can. Once the paint has dried, use hot glue to attach them to the cardboard frame.

3. Dancing lanterns

Iron rods and an iron base hold the three parts of the lamp giving it a dancing effect

4. Beautiful roses

First of all, paint the cardboard. To make the roses, cut out a flower shape with 4-6 petals. Wrap each flower and add another flower on it until the shape of a rose is obtained. flower punch forms the leaves and add a stem in the form of a thin iron wire.

5. Painting with depth

The German artist Keno de Kroon paints his works on egg cartons and this is the result.

6. Egg holders

Tempura paints were used in this project. Paint at least two layers of paint, especially on the white parts of the chicken.

7. More flowers

The soft lighting was achieved by adding small bulbs inside the flowers

8. Mirror mirror on the wall

Take a mirror and glue it into a larger frame. Then hot glue the flowers you made from the egg carton. Let it cool, and enjoy your new look.

9. For the garden

What a wonderful and inexpensive way to teach kids about gardening. Take an egg carton, cut it in half and fill it with soil. Add the seeds of what you want to grow, and water as needed.

10. Colorful rooster

This project may take some time, but the end result is worth it. Use a balloon and paper mache to create the base - everything else consists of egg cartons.

12. Not an ordinary lamp

You will need 3-6 egg cartons for this project and a small light bulb garland.

13. Waterfall of flowers

If you have a lot of cartons of eggs lying around the house and a lot of paint, then why not consider making a breathtaking waterfall of flowers..

14. A small greenhouse

Add soil and seeds to the egg carton. If you don't always remember to water the pots, put the egg carton in a sealed bag to create a greenhouse effect

15. Bells

This is a fun and creative project to do with the kids. Use watercolors to paint the flowers, beads and wool to make the bells.
