Recycled Egg Crown Tutorial

I found out this tutorial from website and found out is so amazing.I decided to share this tutorial. How to make some festive eggs crowns using materials from our classroom recycling bin. Here it goes!

 What you'll need:

• broken down cracker boxes
• old catalogs, magazines, paper, etc.  {we also used unclaimed child artwork}
• sissors
• glue
• marker

DISCLAIMER:  I keep forgetting to take photos at school, so I put this tutorial together at home.  At school, we used a glue stick rather than Elmer's and we most definitely DID NOT use a Sharpie marker for tracing!

Draw an egg-shaped oval on the inside of the box.  The one above is free-handed; at school, we used a stencil.  

Cut up magazines and paper into strips.  Our strips were all 1/4 to 1 inch wide.  It doesn't really matter how long they are - it's kind of fun if they're different lengths.

Cut out the egg-shape and apply glue to one side.

Stick paper strips to the egg-shape until it's entirely covered.

At this point, the children were pretty curious about why I had covered up the egg-shape...

They were SO excited to see that the egg was on the other side - it was a little like a magic trick!  Love them!

Cut around the egg-shape, using the edge of the cardboard as a guide.

Turn it over, and now you have a lovely paper egg!  Oooooooo! Aaaaaaahhhh!

AND, if you are so inclined, staple, glue, or tape several of these eggs to a longer strip of paper attached at the ends, and you'll have a fabulous crown!

Picked Hubs up from work wearing the crown and these sunglasses, and he was definitely impressed!
