If you hadn't seen the title, would you know this was an egg carton? It is a six pack size, and I packed on the foof, layer after layer after layer to camouflage it and try change its look for a swap at Once Upon an Easter.
(I'm am away in GA right now, and by this date, the swap should be passed, and I will be the delighted, new owner of my very owned decked out egg carton made by my partner- photos to come when I return)
It looked more like an egg carton once it was wrapped up to pack. (I sure hope it makes the trip safely!)
And from the inside, you can definitely tell what it is. I added a hand painted egg, just in case…
I also filled it with Georgia peaches (pulled off one my vintage hats), some flowers, pictures cut from old Easter postcards, and a few other tidbits.
Our swappers are secret, all I knew was that my partner likes pink and neutral. I hope I didn't go over the top pink for her, it is much more colorful than neutral.
It is always a challenge to do a swap, and hope that your piece is what the other person will like. And to redo an egg carton into a treasure box? That was a stretch for me. I look forward to seeing the other creations, because I had to struggle with mine and I'd like to see how others have pulled off the transformation.
Thank you for hosting, Betti! This one had me thinking, and I enjoyed doing it.
Thank you for sharing the glorious beauty of your egg carton creation, Karla! I cannot imagine someone not absolutely loving to receive yours!
Gorgeous!
