REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE A SEWING NEEDLE, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CRAFT PROJECTS ALONE.

1. Let’s start with creating a Tulip Flower. To make a tulip, cut an individual cup from an egg carton. Then trim the sides of the cup to form four petals. The ends can be rounded or pointed. When you’re done cutting out the tulip, use a colored marker to accent the edges of the petals.
2. For the daffodil, start with two egg cups. Prepare one as described for the tulip, then trim the second cup so that the edge is even and the sides are about an inch tall. Fit the short cup into the first cup and glue it in place. Now take a yellow marker and color your flower to make it look more like a daffodil, and let your flower dry.
3. After the daffodil has been drying for 30 minutes, you can grab your tulip and add stems to both flowers. Make a small slit in the bottom of each flower and insert the top end of a bendy straw into the slit. Now just arrange your flowers into a cheerful centerpiece, and present them to a lucky recipient!
