How to clean egg cartons for crafts
To make sure your egg cartons are bacteria-free and odorless for crafts, here’s what you can do:
- Using a dry cloth or soft brush, remove any visible dirt or residue.
- To remove odors and bacteria, sprinkle baking soda on your carton tray and place it in a sealed bag for a few days or you can leave it in direct sunlight for 1-2 days.

Crafting tip
A sharp pair of scissors will make the cutting process easier and faster!
Creative ideas and diversity
- the colors. Daisies come in many different colors, not just the usual white petals and yellow centers. You can paint them pink, violet, orange, red or any color you like.
- Size. Since we use egg trays, there are size limitations. You can make small daisies with the same process. If you want to make bigger ones, you will need to cut the petals separately and glue them one by one.
