I was having a conversation with my brother the other weekend, and we were talking about chicken eggs. I blew his mind when I said I have chickens that lay blue and green eggs since he only thought chicken eggs came in white or brown.
This kind of blew my mind, so I am gifting him a rainbow collection of eggs, farm-fresh from my coop.
To make this special egg delivery even more fun, he’s getting them in hand-painted egg cartons.
Painting these chicken egg cartons took very little time. It’s an easy craft project, and they turned out so PRETTY!
I think this painting project is perfect for all ages, and all you need is egg cartons, craft paint, paintbrushes, and your imagination.

HAND PAINTING EGG CARTONS
I had a couple of different egg carton options to choose from.
One was a standard carton, and one had a paper cover that I removed before painting.
Of course, my little friend Huey had to check out what I was working on.
Next, I made some imperfect circles in FOLKART Multi-Surface Craft Paint in the color Bright Pink Rose.
Before the pink was dry, I used a small, pointed round paintbrush to add some swooshes into the pink paint with FolkArt Craft Paint in Vintage White.
This technique helps give the imperfect pink circles look like rose.
Lastly, I used a thin-tip black marker to add some loose lines, and that's it.
I think these cartons look so pretty, and this was a perfect little project to do between my laundry loads this afternoon.
Hopefully, my brother will enjoy his colorful collection.

Dewey says it’s all about the presentation, and these eggs look delicious.
