Yes! ‘Egg carton’, you read that right! To create these lights all you need is an egg carton, scissors, paint and a paintbrush. Adding your favourite colour or even the theme colour of your wedding can be a great personal touch. We love how the illumination from the light creates an ombre colour effect.
