Altered Easter Egg Carton

I was recently inspired by Pinterest to alter an egg carton...

You know those cardboard egg cartons?

Well let me show you how I altered that very same carton into a  Easter gift...

I got out my craft paint and painted the entire container..

added lots of lace from my stash....

and ribbon.....

Printed out a vintage Eater card...and added lots of embellishments...

more lace, some cabochons and various flowers...

Then inside the lid, I added more lace and more flowers....

I love how it turned out...

very spring like and so colorful...

love that aqua flower!

But since it's going to be a gift, there will be some little things added

that I can't show you right now...

because as I said, it's a gift and well some of this should be a surprise...

I've got another egg carton that I'll be altering very soon...

but it won't be for Easter...because Pinterest is full of ways to alter

these egg cartons...stay tune!

Linking to these parties....

and don't forget to link up to my party...

Have a great week!
