Even if that darn groundhog did see his shadow, Spring is still just around the corner, right? We look forward to ushering in the season with this welcome wreath made entirely out of recyclable materials.

We're always trying to find crafts that are equal parts aesthetic and educational. This egg carton wreath from Homemade Serenity not only involves the whole family, but it solves that pesky problem of just what to do with that pile of egg cartons. Nothing is so inviting and cheerful as a beautiful wreath. For a step by step how-to guide, please visit Homemade Serenity.

I've always felt guilty putting the empty egg cartons in the recycle. I always thought that they would be useful but could never think of how I could repurpose them with the exception of small containers for that good old junk drawer BUT NOW....well, my nieces and nephews are gonna have a ball making flowers for their Moms. Thanks!
Simply gorgeous! I love the bright colours!
