Don’t you love the look of egg cups? They are perfect for your Easter breakfasts or brunches, as they keep your hard-boiled eggs upright and easy to eat. Egg cups are also a great way to display the eggs you so carefully decorated and painted. You can buy egg cups at various home décor shops and stores, but why not make your own instead? With just a few dollar store materials you can make your own Easter egg cups to use for all of your Easter festivities. Take a look at how simple it is.

DIY Easter Egg Cups

Supplies needed:
Assorted plastic eggs
Hot glue, glue gun

When is the last time you made a craft using just two supplies? Well, two supplies are all you need to make these egg cups happen. Browse your local dollar store for colorful and fun plastic eggs. They should have a wide variety!

Directions:
1. Begin by making sure your eggs are clean. This will help them adhere well. Just wipe them with a cloth to remove any dust or debris.

2. Turn the eggs over. You are going to be attaching them at the ends.

3. Apply a generous dab of glue to the end of the larger half. Flip it over. Press the smaller, second half on top of it. Press firmly until the glue is dry and the egg half is in place.

4. Once your egg halves are connected and the glue is dry, you will notice your egg cup instantly take shape. All you need to do now is place your egg in and presto, you have an easy Easter egg cup!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
