Altered Egg Carton

As you know I participated in a Halloween swap over at the Witches Cauldron. (Elizabeth and Simone). One of the requirements of the swap was to make an altered item. I decided on an egg carton. I spray painted the egg carton black. The image is from Crafty Secrets. I added various embellishments: buttons, crocheted flowers, plastic spiders, and black spider webby ribbon.
On the inside I took these tiny plastic cups and altered each one with a Halloween item and a jewelry tag to indicate what was inside. I filled each cup with little things, like sequins, brads, flowers etc.... The recipient was Mary, of a Very Mary Design. I am now saving more egg cartons....I'm thinking Christmas....or Easter....
And on a personal note....closed the pool officially today. Sort of sad really. This means the holidays are around the corner....presents to buy....parties to plan! I miss the laid back days of summer with no schedules and sleeping in!
