Egg Carton D.I.Y ideas
Easter celebrates rebirth, so what better way to celebrate than to inject new life into the often overlooked Easter leftovers; the egg cartons? This post proudly presents 10+ D.I.Y Egg Carton hacks from around the blogosphere. First out in the Egg Carton D.I.Y round-up are the awesome egg carton stools by Andrew Wagner & Jen Turner. A great article (by the designer himself, former editor of the fantastic but now defunct ReadyMade magazine) tells the interesting story of their making, read it here.
Each stool consists of a stack of 60 36-piece egg trays each, which are given a stripy look from using masking tape and spray painting them army green and various shades of blue. They’re held together with a variety of burlap strips and sisal rope.

Hacky designer Victor Vetterlein uses the pulp from 4 egg cartons to make a ”Trash me” lamp, which is then molded into 2 symmetric parts and joint together after some easy peasy wiring. The lamp can be quickly dissembled and the parts reused or recycled back into the trash to be born again as something new (ps. learn more about how to mold egg carton pulp here)
