A Fun Christmas Project

Take an empty egg carton. Cut out the individual egg cups. 
Make 6 cuts around the circular bottom of the cup, so that it looks like this. 

 (Look in the lower right hand corner of the picture below.)
                                                                                                  

                        We then painted ours but we had no white paint so we used light pink. :)
Aftyn LOVED the painting part. It was her first time really painting anything this complex.

                                                                           Her efforts seen here.
                                  So when the paint dries, you can either sew them into
                                    a falling snow pattern with thread (by hand or machine)
                                      or hot glue them into the same pattern using yarn.  
                                  
I used hot glue. It was fast!  I love how pretty they are - I actually REALLY like that they are such a pretty pink.
 

      And here's my awesome homemade wreath that I made at my ward's
     Relief Society wreath  making activity. It smells SO yummy! :) 
    Be impressed. Ha!
