Filed under: Projects, Crafts & Projects, Design, etc, Furniture

In this week's Random Recast, we took a look at a few unexpected uses for egg cartons.

Day 4: Egg Carton House

It's not coming to a development near you, but it's nice to look at isn't it? This art installation by the Australian studio Goldenhen turns egg cartons into ersatz bricks. A wry commentary on the dream of suburban homeownership, this piece is based on the Howard Arkley painting "Family Home: Suburban Exterior" (1993).

Day 3: Egg Carton Chandelier

In this chandelier by Otero Design Studio, egg cartons are turned into a drum-style lampshade. Though inspiring, we figured out a way to DIY this one.

Day 2: Egg Carton Flowers

Create an everlasting bouquet with this simple craft idea. It's great for wedding or party centerpieces.

Day 1: Egg Carton Seat
