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.
