Here's a fun way to recycle leftover Easter eggs!
What You Need:
- clay flower pot
- acrylic paints
- paintbrushes
- eggs, hard-boiled and dyed
- clear-drying glue
- small container, such as an old can or jar
- pencil
- nontoxic clear craft glaze or finish (optional)
What You Do:
- Paint the flower pot any color you want and let paint dry.
- Carefully peel the eggshells and crush them into different-sized bits.
- Lightly draw the outline of a simple design, such as a butterfly or flower, on the pot. Or cover the entire pot with eggshells. If you want, you can paint part of the design, such as the butterfly's body, as shown.
- Pour some glue into a small container. Use a paintbrush to spread the glue on your design. Then gently press the eggshell bits on the wet glue until the design is filled in.
- When the glue is dry, you can paint over the whole pot with clear craft glaze or finish, if you want. Now put some soil and a plant in your pot. You can give your creation away or enjoy it on your windowsill.
