Eggshells (or egg cartons sections) <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Green pipe cleaners <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tempera paint and markers <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hot glue or white glue \u00c2\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clean eggshell halves and dry them gently. Using tempera paint, decorate the shells to look like tulips. Let the paint dry overnight. When the paint is completely dry, add details to the tulips using markers.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Twirl one end of a green pipe cleaner into a spiral shape (this will be glued onto the base of the tulip).\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Glue the spiral to the tulip (if using white glue, let it set for a few hours).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cut the egg carton into separate cups, leaving some of the middle “pop-up” sections. Cut the main cups into the pointed shape of the tulip petals. With the point of the scissors or a sharp pencil, poke a hole in the bottom of each cup. Paint and decorate each cup however you like. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"tulips1\"<\/a>Cut the little center “pop-up” sections between the egg cups into small pointed shapes that will go beneath the tulip cups. Poke a hole in the center of each and paint green. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the pieces are dry, poke a piece of green chenille through the holes. Tie a loop on the end in the cup so it can’t pull back out, and add a dab of glue between the two sections. Shape the chenille into leaf shapes and leave a few inches at the bottom for the stem.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
