Make Jewelry Out of Egg Cartons
I hate heavy jewelry. It just makes me feel "weighed down." So, I came up with the idea of making jewelry out of egg cartons! What lighter material could you find? And, if you lose an earring or a bracelet, it's easily replaceable!
Just cut the egg carton cups into whatever shapes you want--oval, round, square, triangle. Attach to ear wires (for pierced ears). You are done!

Turn Egg Cartons into Jewelry Boxes
Get a large egg carton and paint the egg carton with some paint mixed in with a bit of white glue. This will help it stick to the waxy surface. Let dry. Trim some cloth with pinking shears (c) and glu earound the insideedge of a tin pan. Then place the egg carton inside the tin pan (f). Decorate the top of the egg carton lid with shells, imitation jewels, beads, string, macaroni noodles, or whatever you think will look nice. The egg carton works nice for separating your jewelry.
