Transform a clean plastic jug into a charming chicken-shaped egg holder with simple cutting, painting, and decorating techniques. This DIY project breathes new life into packaging while adding a cheerful handmade touch to your kitchen decor.

Ingredients

  • 1 clean plastic jug (sturdy food-safe plastic is preferable)
  • Craft paint (optional, pick suitable for plastic; colors like white, cream, yellow, brown, or pastel shades)
  • Ribbons, stickers, decorative tape (as desired)
  • Scissors (sharp household or craft scissors)
  • Paintbrushes (one for broad areas, one for details)

Instructions

  1. Clean the plastic jug.
  2. Remove the label.
  3. Cut away the top portion.
  4. Check the cut edge.
  5. Paint the outside if desired.
  6. Let the paint dry.
