5. Heart Wall Art
Show someone your love for them and recycling by creating this great piece of heart wall art from A Little Hut. This would look just as nice if you hung it directly on your wall instead of framing it. Also, try coming up with different shapes by adding, taking away, and rearranging the egg cups.
How do you reuse your egg cartons? Have you tried any of the projects here or do you have some ideas of your own? I would love to hear all of the crafty ways that you reuse the cartons. Feel free to leave any comments, links, or ideas.

I buy eggs at my local farmer’s market, and most of the egg vendors will reuse egg cartons! If they get one from a different vendor, they just put their own sticker over it. This might not be allowed in all markets, but it’s worth checking.
When I was a kid one Halloween I dressed up as the Statue of Liberty. My mom made most of my costume, including the crown which was from an old egg carton>:)
