Egg Carton Bouquet – Step 1
First you want to cut out 3 cups from an empty egg carton. Trim them so they have four rounded petals as shown.

Next paint the egg cups pink inside and out. After that paint the toilet paper roll blue. Let all the painted pieces dry.
Egg Carton Bouquet – Step 3
Cut about 1/4 of the pipe cleaner off the bottom of each pipe cleaner, the excess you cut off is for the leaves. Poke a hole in the bottom center of each egg cup. Put the longer pieces of the pipe cleaners through the holes and bend inside so they stay in place.
