From Trash to Treasures....more on homemade decorations

As I said before, I love birthday parties at home. Such great memories. Here's another fun and easy decor idea that came through my inbox from family fun magazine that would make for a great craft for the kids to do at a girl's spring birthday party or a teddy bear tea party!

Take empty cardboard egg cartons and cut them into individual cups. Paint the cups inside and out with fun spring colors like yellow, lilac, pink, etc. Use a pencil tip to poke a hole through the bottom of the cups and insert a straw (if you can get green straws with the little bendy thing on the end) into the hole for the stem. Put two cups on each straw for a pretty colorful flower. Place several egg cup flowers into a vase for a bouquet or cut the straw and wear them as a corsage!

Fun, easy and CHEAP! And the kids will love it!
