Materials
-egg carton
-scissors
-glue
-paint or markers to colour the egg carton
-glue
-paper for the card
-tea bag
-pipecleaner (optional)
Instructions
1. Cut out one single cup from your egg carton.
2. Cut the egg cup in half. Colour and decorate the cup anyway you want. You can use paint or markers. You can choose to colour the inside or not. I just left mine uncoloured.
3. *If you don’t have pipecleaners you can skip this step and cut out a handle out of paper and glue it on.*
Poke two holes on the side of the cup to make the handle of the cup. You can use a pencil or pin. Cut a small piece of pipecleaner out and push each end into the hole.
4. Prepare your card. You can choose your recipient’s favourite colour or write something on the front!
Glue the cup to the front of your card by applying it on the edges of the carton. I used a hot glue gun. Be careful you don’t burn yourself! You can also use glue stick or white glue. Just make sure you let it dry completely.
Put your tea bag in and you’re done!
