Today, I thought it would be fun to give you instructions on how to make a string of flower lights out of empty egg cartons. This project is pretty simple, but it can be time consuming. It takes me about 2-3 hours to finish a string of 20 lights.

I work in a restaurant that does a killer a breakfast so we go through a lot of eggs making the cartons readily available. These were super easy and they look awesome!! I did not hot glue the flowers on, they seem like they will hold but I may choose to do so down the line. I love these and recommend them to all.

I ended up cutting a little deeper down the sides than you did on my styrofoam flowers, but that was okay because they look like dogwood blossoms and now I don't have to paint them if I don't want to. =) Thanks for this idea!
