Ready? Let’s get making…
STEP 1
Make sure your eggbox is clean and free of eggs. Paint the entire box in the colour of your choice. We chose brown to give it the look of wood and added some wood-grain details on top in black pen.
STEP 2
Next up you can add a little more detail, like the silver edging and lock. Add jewels, gems, stickers, or whatever you like to customise your treasure chest lid. Remember, this is yours to decorate however you like.
STEP 3
Inside, fill the box with cotton wool or tissue paper so that it’s nice and soft to hold your toothy treasures. Place your teeth in the chest, shut it tight and wait for the pirate tooth fairy to make an appearance.
STEP 4
Take a nap and the next morning you may find some new treasures of your own!
