Tuesday Tutorial: Recycled Daisy Egg Carton for Easter Treats



Easter egg hunts are made more fun with this adorable crate for storing your finds. Kirsten Jones created this cute Easter craft, and now you can too. A great gift for kids to help create. All you will need are a few supplies including FolkArt paints. Easter will be here in less than two weeks. Crazy right? This month has flown by and this holiday comes a little early this year.
