Easy Easter Crafts Directions:

1. Use the scissors to cut out the “cup” of the egg cartons. Cut away the extra cardboard surrounding the “cup.”
2. Trim the edges of each “cup” to create lovely petals.
3. Repeat the process for two additional “cups” making each one smaller than the other. The smallest one can have 3 petals instead of 4.
4. Place the flowers on top of each other starting with the smallest and ending with the largest.
5. Insert the wire into the holes in the middle of each flower. Fasten it to secure the flowers together. Make sure it extends from the hole so that it can attach the flower to a branch.
6. Make a small slit on the interior part of the innermost flower starting at the middle hole.
7. Insert the LED light into the slit.
8. You can make your flowers decorative by punching holes on the petals using the hole punch. If you don’t have a hole punch, use a sharp instrument.
9. Attach the flowers to a branch or a wire from the back.
