Egg carton wreath

This year's ANZAC Day wreath was inspired by this lovely egg carton wreath on Homemade Serenity. Just Google, "egg carton wreath" and you'll find many other great ideas!



The base is made from a thick cardboard box and is about 60cm in diameter. The leaves are also cut from a cardboard box, while each flower is created from the sections in an egg carton. 

The Brownie Guides designed all the flowers themselves and then painted them (using our lovely new paint!) Once painted, everything was hot glued together.

Now we just need to write 'Lest We Forget' across the ribbon and it will be complete and ready to lay down at our local memorial service on April 25th.



Individually the flowers may not be what some would consider to be 'perfect', but each girl completed her flower as she saw fit and working together, the unit created a beautiful wreath. I've included a few detail shots below so you can see the design of the individual flowers. I love their unique creations!
