Steentjes maken van eierdozen
I used cardboard-type egg cartons as the basic material to make the bricks for my For the Birds project. The bumpier the cardboard the better. I used the inside surface of the carton for the top of the brick. Any kind of printing on the carton will get covered by paint. You can use just the lid to cut your bricks from, or any area of the carton that is flat enough to get a few bricks from. Some of the best, bumpier type bricks come from the cone areas down the middle of the carton. You only get a few from each side of the cone, but they make the best bricks.
First you need to get rid of all the areas of the carton you won't be using by cutting it apart. Next you need to cut the carton pieces into strips 7/32 wide. You can use a scissor or a rotary cutter. Then cut each strip into bricks 5/8 long.
This next step you can either do or skip, depending on your patience level. I then take each brick and cut off all four sharp corners. Make sure you only trim off a tiny, tiny bit.
