Posted 2013-11-03 by Lucy follow
What do you do with all your old egg cartons? Here is a perfect recycling solution and you end up with a fantastic colored tiara for the little ones to play "dress ups" with (on themselves, or perhaps on their favorite toy).

Recycle your egg cartons


Time: 20 minutes (plus extra for paint drying time)
Age: Under 5's
Level: Easy

Materials

  • Colored paints
  • Recycled egg carton
  • Scissors
  • Paint brush
  • Colored ribbon

  • Method

  • Save your next egg carton and cut it in half down the middle with some scissors, so that you have two long lines.

  • Cut the egg carton in half


  • Paint your recycled egg carton on the outer edges in your favorite colors - we used rainbow colors for ours.

  • Paint your egg carton


  • When the paint is completely dry, make a small hole in each end with the scissors.

  • Make a hole in the end


  • Cut the colored ribbon into lengths of about 20 - 30 cms and thread it through the two holes, so that it can be tied securely onto someone's head - by tying the ribbons under their chin.

  • Tie the tiara onto your head


  • Tie your recycled egg carton tiara onto your head, or onto the head of a favorite toy. Now you're all set for the races or maybe you might like to host a little tiara inspired fashion parade?
