Are you planning a special brunch? Why not create personal flower vases for your guests, and a unique centerpiece? These eggshell treasures will add a decorative touch to your special event! Here’s how you can create them:

Eggshell Vases

1. Crack a large raw egg lengthwise by tapping the egg lightly against a bowl.

2. Remove the yolk and egg white.

3. Carefully rinse the intact side of the eggshell.  

4. Let it air dry.

5. Place the eggshell in a miniature stemmed glass.

6. Insert a small amount of water into the eggshell. 

7. Carefully insert small fresh flowers.

8. Position one at each place setting.

Eggshell and Sea Glass Centerpiece

1. Prepare the egg in steps 1 to 4.

2. Find a clear, decorative glass dish and fill it with sea glass. 

3. Place the intact eggshell into the sea glass. The sea glass will help support the shell.

4. Insert a small amount of water into the eggshell. 

5. Carefully insert small fresh flowers.

6. Place in the center of your table.
