Is it finally that time? Can I, at long last, say goodbye to the never-ending series?
It seems impossible, I know. But it is true.
That serial exploration into the floral possibilities of garbage and other stuff, is over.
Here it is then, just for you. Part 10 – THE FEAST OF THE FLOWER: Egg Cartons. The link to the rest of the series is HERE to peruse whenever you like.
And yes. You read that right. These flowers are ALSO made from egg cartons.
Look here. I searched high and low for the perfect material for the final installment of the series but I just kept coming back to the DEPENDABLE OLD EGG CARTON!
No, I am not yelling. I’m just speaking with conviction.
Am I making excuses? Is it pure laziness that brought me back to the egg carton yet again. Perhaps.
But I had fun. You see?
Those little egg cups are just rife with potential, not to mention that they are easy to work with, paint well, and I have gobs of them under my work table.
So I made more egg carton flowers and I hope you like them. I’m sorry if my inability to find a new, more interesting material disappoints you. I will try harder next time.
And speaking of next time…
If you haven’t already noticed, this is my 99th blog post! NEXT TIME can mean but one thing. It will be my 100th post celebration which I cordially invite you to attend. Stories will be told, games will be played and prizes will be won! I do hope you can make it!
In the meantime, have yourself a wonderful day!
These are gorgeous Michele! I love them!! Congrats on finishing the series!! I really enjoyed seeing all your creations!
I love the series of photographs of your flowers…the flowers too, of course, but I love the shadows and arrangements in the photos a lot too! You make egg cartons look great, why *not* use them again!
Congratulation! To come up with ten different views / possibilities to make flowers out of nearly everything is really cool! And you're right.. ten times… this is much! To come up with three or five ideas for a topic, ok, but ten…? I am impressed and I loved your all of your flowers! 🙂
I love the new flowers! Who cares if you used more egg cartons anyway?!
Wow – 99 posts – that is an achievement!
They are amazing as always Michele. Great job, and good luck with Stashbusting September, all of your projects were fantastic.
I would never have thought so much could be crafted from the humble egg carton…..

These are fab. You keep making them and i'll eat the eggs!!
Huzzah!!!!! These are wonderful and a fitting end. I LOVE the simple green bud things, but everything is amazing. Two of look like fantasy protea. (Proteas? For some reason I don't want to add an S.) Your flowers were my intro to your work, and the whole series a triumph.
Wow! So amazing! What beautiful work! And Congratulations on your 99th post-I will be coming to the party for the 100th!
Found your blog through "totally tutorials" and I must say that I am really impressed at your abitity to create these amazing flowers out of "garbage". I will definately have a go at them if i can find the same shape/material toiletrolls and egg cartons here in Sweden
Don't apologize, these are beautiful and you would never think they started life as a humble egg carton! And you know I'll be there with bells on to celebrate your 100th post. Phew that went quick.
I looked at the (Gorgeous) photos first and then read your text and had no idea that it was an egg carton. Your photos are stunning, the use of light, love it.
Your flowers look fantastic! I love them!
Egg cartons are my friend. I think these are wonderful.
so pretty! Gosh, I'm amazed at what you can do with what most people say is junk!
They are beautiful and I like how you reused something most of us would throw away. We all have to do our part for the environment and saving a little here and there can make a difference. Great job.

Oh wow they are amazing! I can see how you loved it 🙂 Creativity plus – I can't stop looking at them!
What a fantastic reusage of trash into art. I love the different varieties you've come up with. Truely hard to tell how your garden started out:)
How ingenious and the photography is stunning too
Really can't believe those are made out of egg cartons! Wonderfully creative! TFS on Thrilling Thursday @ Paisley Passions.
your blog is amazing!! I wanted to let you know that I recently started a "Handmade Tuesdays" on Ladybug Blessings. I am featuring a tutorial (let me know if you ever want to be featured) and then am also going to have a linky at the bottom where people can link up previous tutorials they did. It can be from any time but the only rule is it cannot be linked up again. I am also going to be randomly featuring etsy shops as well because not everyone can make things! So please link up on Tuesday!
My mom used to make flowers from egg cartons. Sadly I hardly see anymore- eggs come mostly in plastic boxes these days! My mom also made flowers from sunflower middles and pinecones- she stuck the pinecone petals (what do you call those things anyway?)into the sunflower middles. If i find some egg cartons, I'm going to make some- I love flowers! They make our day, don't they? Patsy from

These are so pretty! I am featuring this on my blog so stop by and grab a button! Have a great day!
Michele these are so creative… love the way your mind works! Hope you share again tomorrow at a crafty soiree (-:
Very nice Michele, just whadda mean the end of a series? You surely don't mean to tell me that your garbage days are over? I wouldn't believe it for a minute! Thanks so much for sharing on Craft Schooling Sunday!
Another item I toss into the recycle bin! Can't believe what I have been missing out on here. Just tossed one this morning, so I'll dig that one back out. Love, love the flowers you made. Such a creative idea. Again, one less embellishment to buy for scrapbooks or cards. Thank you.
Nice new flowers!!!
