Steps (11 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Start off with one of your regular egg cartons. If you usually buy a dozen, go for a big box, or if you don't get through that many, pick a smaller one.

  2. 2

    Cut the lid off the top of the carton and place to one side.

  3. 3

    Break off small chunks of clay and mould them into the bottom of the egg carton.

  4. 4

    Continue this until you've covered the whole egg carton, keeping the thickness even across the whole tray.

  5. 5

    Leave the clay to harden for a few days.

  6. 6

    Peel the paper carton away to reveal the clay carton underneath. Use a toothbrush to scrub away any difficult areas where the carton is stuck.

  7. 7

    Pick out some decoupage paper to line the carton with.

  8. 8

    Working in small sections, brush the inside of the carton with decoupage glue, tear off small squares of decoupage paper and stick them down, overlapping each other a little.

  9. 9

    Add second layer and a third if it needs it and then paint the top with a layer of decoupage glue.

  10. 10

    Leave the glue to dry overnight.

  11. 11

    Fill with eggs and you're all done.
