Trim any rough edges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Two:<\/strong> Set aside one row and cut the other row in half, width-wise. You&#8217;ll now have one long row of six egg cups and two small rows of three egg cups each.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Three:<\/strong> Turn all the egg cup sections upside down so the open ends are face down on your work surface. Cut a slit in the top of each egg cup, just wide enough to slide in a craft stick.
