Making teacup cards from egg cartons


For Mothers Day I made my mom a teacup card from an egg carton!

Out of one egg carton I got 9 cards.  If I cut it better I may have gotten 12 "cups" out of it.


I only needed half of the cup. I wanted to glue it on the card and then be able to put a piece of chocolate inside.

I made the handle out of the top of the egg carton.  I just need a small piece that I could bend and glue on to the cup.



I had this green doily looking paper, so I decided to go with green tea cups.

I just used a green paint for the cup and then put a gold rim on the top.


The green notepad paper was circular, so I just cut it in half and glued it on the card.
After I glued it, I decided to add hearts to some cups and dots to other cups.






These were a pretty simple afternoon craft.
But note, these are not cards that can go through the mail.








Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
