Egg Cup Treat Holders

This Halloween, make a fun recycled craft that holds yummy treats. Make your own colour combinations for a festive and ghoulish decoration.

What you'll need:

  • Cardboard egg cups

  • Paint in Halloween colours

  • Tissue paper in Halloween colours

  • Glue stick

  • Medium googley eyes

  • PVA glue

  • Scissors (make sure a parent helps with these)

How to make it:

  • Trim egg cups with scissors to give them a neat edge.

  • Cut 3" squares from tissue paper.

  • Paint egg cups in various Halloween colours and allow to dry.

  • Use a glue stick to put a dab of glue in the center of a tissue paper square. With the glue side facing downward, gently press center of tissue paper into the center of the inside of the egg cup.

  • Glue two wiggle eyes on each cup.

  • Fill with treats.

Top Tips:

  • Try black with red or purple for a vampire, green with black for Frankenstein, orange and yellow for pumpkins, and so on.

  • To give these cups handles, cut skinny chenille stems into thirds and carefully poke a hole in each side of the cup then thread the chenille through.

  • Save egg cartons for fun craft projects such as this!
