DIY Mirror Frame, Guide
- Cut out one of the single egg containers and make further cuts as shown above to create a flower effect
- Repeat the process until you have as many egg box flowers as you need
- Blue the flowers to the outside edge of a plain frame or piece of mounting cardboard.
There’s always the option of adding a touch of paint or maybe some sparkles to the egg box flowers before gluing them to the frame itself – let your imagination be your guide! Pick up a few of the different colored egg boxes found in stores – white, blue, yellow – and create a wonderful mixed color effect for added punch.
Really, when you see the finished result for yourself, even you will find it trick to believe these were once simple egg boxes!
