You likely have all the supplies needed for this upcycled egg carton craft. DIY Flower String Lights can be made in a few short hours and make adorable bedroom decor for a teen or dorm room.

DIY Flower String Lights Tutorial

We have a fun craft for you. Best of all, you likely have all of these supplies in your home – Christmas Lights and an Egg Carton. Open up your Christmas box and grab a strand of Christmas lights. We used white lights, but colorful lights will be cute too. We used a green light strand, but a white strand will work as well. For your egg carton, you will want to use a cardboard cotton as plastic or Styrofoam carton will not paint well. We chose to paint with one paint color but consider getting creative with your strand. You can add many colors to make a rainbow or use a darker color on the outside and a lighter color on the inside. Whatever your technique, this craft is easy, affordable and adorable – three adjectives I love to hear!

These lights can be placed teen bedroom, an outdoor enclosed patio, or even used in a college dorm room for accent lighting. However you use, be sure to share your ideas but adding your image to our Pinterest Pin under “tried this!” We love to see your creativity too!

Feeling crafty? Don’t forget our Upcycled Christmas Lights.

Supplies:

An empty cardboard egg carton (from a dozen eggs)
Scissors
X-ACTO knife
Pink craft paint
Small bowl
Water
Paint brush
Wooden skewer
Strand of lights
Glue gun or E600 glue

Instructions:

To begin, get your cardboard egg carton and cut down the center of the egg carton.

You will then want to cut each individual section/cup from the carton.

To form a petal, cut 4 upside down triangle shapes evenly spaced around each “cup”. Cut the sections that are sticking up into round petal shapes to form your flower.

Once your flowers are formed, add paint and water to the small bowl. We used a 50/50 ratio of paint to water. We used one color but this is where you can get creative with your own technique.

Paint each flower inside and out. Consider doing a darker color on the outside and lighter on the inside for more of an ombre look. Let each petal dry completely before moving on to your next step.

After your petals are dry, use an X-ACTO knife or a skewer to make a small hole in the center of each flower. (This step should be performed by an adult.)

Lastly, press the flowers onto the lights using the glue gun to secure each flower. For a stronger hold, you can use E600 craft glue.

Hang and Enjoy!

TIP: You can repeat this process to make as many flowers as you want to make a longer strand of lights.

You likely have all the supplies needed for this upcycled egg carton craft. DIY Flower String Lights can be made in a few short hours and look adorable lit up!

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Wrapped Up Printable Wrapping Paper Gift

Looking for the most perfect, practical gift for the holiday season? Look no more as we have a free Wrapped Up Printable tag for a Wrapping Paper Gift idea for teachers, neighbors, co-workers and more!

Wrapped Up Printable Wrapping Paper Gift

I plan ahead. I normally like to know what I am going to buy before Black Friday hits. Well let’s tell the truth. I normally like to know months in advance… like six months, that’s not too embarrassing, right? So upon entering the Christmas season, I began to consider Gift Ideas for Our Neighbors. I wanted to do something practical. In other years, Id id some really cute gifts like the Fleece Navidad blankets and also the M&M Christmas Tags.

This year I wanted to do something practical, something they could use rather than sit on the self… along came the the idea of the Gift Wrap Tag. With this free printable you attach it to a roll of wrapping paper (or gift bags) and gift a roll of wrapping paper. Seems a little silly, but I would love if someone gave me gift wrap that was nice!.. especially if it was a double-sided Hallmark brand!

Wrapped Up Gift Tag Supplies

Not many supplies are needed for this gift. In fact, I was able to go into our gift closet and find these rolls of Christmas gift wrap. I had bought them in January after the Christmas season – might I add that is the best time to buy Christmas wrapping paper. My favorite rolls are the Hallmark rolls that are lined on the back ensuring a straight cut!

I used bows and curling ribbon I keep in my gift wrapping drawers. Seriously my favorite part of wrapping a gift is sliding the blade of my scissors along the back of the curling ribbon and Voilà – there it is, an adorable curl!

You will also need our free printable. I give the link to that printable below as well as how to order your printable online so it is printed in the store – save on ink and paper. We got our gift tags for under $1.
