About a week back I was crafting with egg cartons, you may remember this post. Well, I couldn't just stop at one craft. Who can, right? I wanted to see what else I could make with the egg cartons. That's when I came up with these cute little egg cups. They're easy to make and would be perfect for a kid craft.
Supplies:Egg carton - picture above
Glue
Paint
Clear Acrylic paint
Decoupage glue - something non-toxic
Cut egg cartons into individual cups. You will need two per egg cup.
Glue together, refer to picture.
Paint anyway you wish. Once dry, cover with a layer of acrylic paint. Paint the inside (where the egg sits) with non-toxic decoupage glue. Let dry. Done.* I don't recommend eating out of these egg cups. They're just for display.

These are so cute! I could see myself making a few of these to use throughout the year - the clear acrylic paint really makes them look chic :)

thanks Maria :)
love the pink!
Wow Jessica, your egg cups are brilliant!
Also, kinda impressed with the fact that you're recycling up a storm over there. Perfect in my books. :)
Neat idea! Can picture these as a grouping on a mantel, each holding a colored egg.
Super cute and super cool!
these are brilliant - great idea for displaying easter eggs - will definitely try this :)
Wow! Adorable! I write the Arts & Crafts column for the Examiner and I'd love to share this idea. Please let me know!

These are so great!! We've been painting egg cartons for other projects and I'm going to add this to the list. So cute!

Love Love Love! What a GREAT idea!!!!! Something different for easter to go along with our keepsake eggs!
I love this idea! We did it, and posted about it here: http://aimeeledwell.com/?p=427 with credit to you, of course!
Another wonderful idea for fun time with my granddaughter and her little friend. They are coming for 3 days so between this,the precious paper strip eggs, and the dying of eggs they should stay busy. genie
