A cute egg carton craft idea to do with your kids. It’s fun and easy. And doesn’t cost any money at all to make – making it a zero dollar DIY.
- egg cartons - paint - paint brushes - glue - string or yarn - scissors
Use the pointy pieces of the bottom part of the carton. Just cut them out and flatten them a bit to make them wider if needed.
The cups that the eggs sit in make a great fish body. Just cut the cups individually from the egg carton bottom and then trim any uneven excess down if necessary.
I used the pointy pieces which was just a rectangular piece of scrap egg carton that I cut fringe strips into and then rolled up and glued into one of the pointy egg carton pieces.
I mixed a little water in with some of my paint to allow for the paint to spread quicker and easier.
I cut out larger circles and smaller circles for the eyes, from scrap pieces of the egg carton top. I painted the larger circles white and the smaller circles dark grey / black.
Poke a hole through the middle of each piece (head, body, and tail) with a pair of scissors or something similar.
