Here's a way to reuse the egg cartons in the aftermath of your Easter festivities this weekend.

I usually store all of my paints in sanitized pasta and pickle jars, but carrying around boxes of glass jars up and down stairs has not been ideal.
Now I can keep the paint jars on display in our carport for larger jobs (with lots of room to grow, still).
And carry around these repurposed cartons as palettes-to-go.
What's even better is I could stack the palettes indefinitely as my collection grows, so long as I have enough cosmetic pots to fill up with paint again. :)
