Directions To Make an Egg Carton Snowman
1. First, cut out three egg cups from your egg carton.
2. Next, paint your egg cups white. You may need a few coats of paint to fully cover the egg cups.
3. To stack your cups, you will need to add spacers in between to allow the cups to sit higher. In order to make the spacers, you will need to cut out a small strip from the egg carton lid. Fold the strip into a square. Glue this square to the top of one egg carton.
4. Glue another egg carton on top of the one with the spacer. Create another spacer with a strip of egg carton lid and attach this to the top of the second egg cup. Then, glue your final egg cup to the top.
5. To make earmuffs, cut a small piece of pipe cleaner and curve it into an upside down “U” shape. Glue this to the top egg cup. Next, glue two pom poms on either side of the pipe cleaner to make it look like earmuffs.
6. Draw a carrot nose onto a piece of orange cardstock and cut it out. Glue this to the top egg carton.
7. Draw on eyes and a mouth with a black Sharpie.
8. Finally, glue one black button onto the middle and bottom egg cups.
