Next time you make an omlette or use eggs, don’t forget to clean the egg shells and store them for making these cute egg shell plants, flower vases. These make wonderful gifts for Easter, saying Thank you, sending a cute message, party favours or greeting someone in a special way.
These gifts look perfect on breakfast tables,on your study tables or on your desktop tables in your work place. They add that little zing to the place with cute colors and make you feel closer to mother nature.
These also make beautiful vases for small hand picked flowers.
These gifts are very easy to make and take hardly 15 mins of your effort.
Materials used:
1.Cleaned and dried egg shells
2.Potting soil
3.Coriander seeds/Grass seeds/bean seeds (you can experiment with wide variety of seeds)
Some hand picked flowers (If you are making a vase)
4.Colours (Sketches or piants) (If you want to make it more decorative, you can use glitter, ribbons, stickers etc)
Instructions:
1.Clean and dry the egg shell. (You can use blow dryer or a tissue paper to dry them)
2.Paint/sketch or decorate the egg shell. Use a pipeclener/fuzzystick/think paper and make a circle which is used as the base for the egg shell for supporting it. You can also place your egg shell in a small mud plate or a small container, put some pebbles,papers around the egg to support it.
3.fill 3/4rth of the egg shell with potting soil using a small table spoon
4.Sprinkle the seeds on the soil and cover them up. Water the plants but don’t soak them. (Wait for few days and see your little plants grow)
