AdventurerKatziA paschal upcycle project are these pretty Easter eggs made of cardboard. Use a cardboard box that contains a layer of corrugated cardboard in the middle and paint an egg on it. Then you scratch in these four lines with a cutter knife and loosen the top layer of the cardboard between each of two lines. Once the strips are exposed, the egg is ready and can be hung up. With water colours, the eggs light up. Have fun!

You need a cardboard that's made of corrugated cardboard inside.
First you paint an egg as a template and cut it out. Then you paint eggs in different positions (turned sideways, high edged, crosswise), so that each egg gets an individual wave pattern.
Cut out the eggs properly now.
Then you put the egg on a cutting board or a solid cardboard and cut four lines in the egg across and slightly diagonally with the cutter knife. The lines can run different; they do not have to be parallel.
Make sure that the cuts only go through the top layer of the carton.
Between two lines, the top layer of the cardboard is removed. For this purpose, you pluck up the cardboard a little bit at the edge and then replace the thin top layer with a blunt needle. Drive along the line with the needle. The corrugated cardboard becomes visible.
Travel also with all eggs. Due to the different wave formations each egg looks different.
Then punch a hole for the thread to hang up in the box with a punched tong or a pointed needle.
Then you cut off a 10cm long piece of thread, thread it through the hole and put both ends on top of each other. Now put it into a loop and put the ends through the loop. Then you tighten the loop and push the resulting knot to the outside as far as possible.
Your Easter eggs are ready.
Water paints are suitable for painting. Get a glass with water and a brush and use a paint pad or an old newspaper. With a paint coat you protect your clothes from paint splashes.
Now you paint only the smooth surfaces of the box.
Leave the eggs to dry afterwards.
Then you hang the eggs on an Easter shrub or on a flowering branch.
Enjoy crafting and decorating!
Tip: You can also use the eggs as a gift pendant!
