by Jane Lake
How to make a sweet little posy vase from an eggshell - perfect for tiny flower bouquets on Easter, Mother's Day or Valentine's Day -- or just to give someone you love along with breakfast in bed!
Eggshell Posy Vase
Craft Supplies:
Half an eggshell
water
glass candle holder, egg cup, or small dish
sea glass, seashells, colored sand, or flat glass marbles
bouquet of small fresh flowers
Eggshell Vase
Instructions:
Save that egg shell from breakfast and make a sweet little posy vase for tiny flowers. This looks lovely on the breakfast table, on a breakfast tray or in any corner that needs a little splash of bright color.
You will need a glass candle holder for the display shown in our photograph. Simply support the eggshell in the area meant to hold a tapered candle in place. Surround the eggshell with sea glass, seashells, colored sand or flat glass marbles.
Add water to the eggshell.
Cut a few short stemmed flowers and arrange in the eggshell.
Suggestions:
You could support the eggshell in a pretty egg cup, or in a small bowl, supporting the egg with the items that you choose to surround it; sea glass or colored marbles work well for this.
Decorate the egg shell if you wish - use Easter egg dye or paint with acrylics.

This is a really great idea. So pretty!! I love the real flowers. I went to Lowes and bought real seedlings in bloom and planted the blooms after Easter is over. Makes for a forever giving gift throughout the sping or summer season.
