Ingredients
- At least 3 egg cartons - I used the largest size egg cartons with deep, rounded egg cups
- Good quality glue - I used carpenter’s glue
- A pretty ribbon - optional
- A pair of scissors
Instructions
- STEP 1: Gather your supplies.
- STEP 2: Using your scissors, cut off the unneeded parts of the egg cartons like the flap and the top. Throw these in the recycling bin or store them for future projects.
- STEP 3: Again with the aid of your scissors, break the egg carton apart into individual egg cups. For my small wreath, I needed 25 egg cups which meant I needed 2+ egg cartons.
- STEP 4: Using only your fingers, gently tear away the cut edges of each egg cup, removing as little as you can so each cup remains as large as possible. You want your egg cups to be left with those soft torn edges.
- STEP 5: Once your cups are torn, it’s time to stack and glue them. One cup at a time, put a generous amount of glue onto its inner surface. Stack the next cup, and add glue to its inner surface. Repeat until you have a stack of several cups. Begin to round the stack as you glue on more cups.
- STEP 6: Continue in this fashion, stacking, glueing and rounding, until you have enough egg carton cups to complete your wreath.
- STEP 7: It’s time now to bring the beginning and end of the rounded stack together. Add some glue to the last cup and join them. I took a little time adjusting the egg cups to get an even look all the way around. Furthermore, I spent a few minutes pushing on the entire outer surface of the wreath to tighten the whole together.
- STEP 8: Finally, find a cozy spot for it to rest as I did, or add a ribbon and decorate a wall as shown below.

Wow that egg carton wreath looks really nice! I love this as it looks like a great way to repurpose something normally thrown away.
That’s a neat idea! It has a really nice, natural look to it. I have a sort of earthy decor and this would fit right in. My kids could even paint the egg cups different colors and do a pattern or rainbow design.
This looks really crafty. I never would have thought of this. Love it.
I have never seen a wreath made out of old egg cartons. Way to recycle. I just happen to have plenty of egg cartons to make this wreath and decorate it.

Then you are definitely going to have fun! The more cartons you’ve got, the bigger wreath you can make! Go for it!

That is a really cool idea! It would be perfect for spring or any season just by changing the ribbon! I love it!
What an ingenious design tutorial! I have been contemplating DIY’ing a few things for the apartment, but haven’t had any ideas. I think this would look cute with some spray paint on it too.
Katie,
Way to go – add some color that suits your home decor, and you’re in business with a new home look!
That is absolutely adorable. I love this idea! I am going to make one of these for Easter next year.
I have never seen a wreath made from an egg carton before. I love the natural look of it. I’d also like to glam it up a bit to see how it would look. It’s so pretty!
