Egg carton art

This is a craft using egg cartons that lets you enjoy a wide range of expressions depending on your ideas.

Prepare illustrations of animals or characters and choose the parts you want to make three-dimensional.

For example, for a chicken, cut out the wings, comb, and beak by making use of the egg carton’s curves, then color each piece and assemble them.

Fix the parts together with a glue gun or craft glue, and layer and attach them onto the base illustration to finish.

One of the charms is that you can achieve textures and shadows that paper alone can’t express.

It’s a creativity-sparking idea that lets you enjoy something between art and crafting.
