Colorful Egg Carton Butterfly Craft for Kids

Just finished my egg carton case this morning and thought it would be fun to make some pretty little butterflies out of them! This can be made by kids of any age and they can choose whatever colors they want! Super cute for a spring time art project.

Materials Needed:

• Neon paint
• Egg carton
• Scissors
• Pipe cleaner
• Paintbrush

Start by cutting a section of an egg carton that has 4 cups. Trim off the sides so they are smoother and cut the edges so it goes inward.

Take one pipe cleaner and wrap it around the bottom and twist at the top to make butterfly antennas. Choose 3-4 neon colored paints and do rings around each egg carton cup.

Take another paintbrush and pull it down through each ring of colors. It makes this awesome tie dye effect! Let dry and you’re done!

Here’s what it looked like the next day…
