Recycled Egg Carton Paper

A few years ago (during the pandemic, of course), I channeled my childhood and got really into some recycled crafts. It’s been a bit now but I’m been saving all of my egg cartons for a while for a few projects. I’ve wanted to try making some paper using egg cartons or old paper for a bit. And now I have so many projects I want to try with this. The recycled egg carton paper turned out so beautiful and I can’t wait to send some letters with it and use it for some parties. Picture mini versions as little place cards!

Now you can get a little more value out of those expensive eggs and make some fresh and natural looking paper of your own! I’m thinking of trying some bowl making using the egg carton pulp next and I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
