Eggshell Place Setting
- Plant alfalfa seeds in broken egg shells. Place these eggshells by the window or wherever there’s sunshine, and watch your seeds sprout within a few days. Check out 17Apart’s guide on how to grow sprouts in eggshells.
- Nestle the shells into pastel egg holders to create a festive arrangement
- Decorate with mini quail eggs to complete the look. Don’t forget to boil them first!
Custom Decoupaged Eggs- Instead of dying or painting your Easter eggs, you can decoupage them!
- Cut out your favorite designs from printed napkins and peel off the first thin layer that contains the printed design. Checkout Buzzfeed’s instructional video on decoupaging for details on how to do this step.
- Paint a thin layer of decoupage glue onto the egg, and adhere the printed design. Paint over the design with more glue and you’re done!
