Making miniature Easter egg planters that are adorned with broken eggshells is one of my favorite DIY projects. In addition to being adorable, they are an eco-friendly way to add greenery to your home. This is the way you can make them in four simple steps.

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies  – You will need hard-boiled and raw eggs that have been blown, potting soil or mix, small plants or seeds of your choice, and any desired decoration materials, such as paint.

Step 2: Blowing the Eggs Out: To begin, use a pin or needle to poke two holes in each end of the eggshells. Then, blow through one hole until the contents fall out from the other side. Then peel the hard-boiled eggs and save the shells.

Step 3: Decorating the eggshells is where your imagination comes into play! Get imaginative by sticking broken eggshell pieces onto each smothered egg. When everything has dried, simply fill it with potting soil and some small plants like succulents or lily of the valley. For best results, use strong craft glue and, if desired, something like Mod Podge for extra shine and protection on the top. Then, place them in a sunny location, either indoors or outdoors, where they will undoubtedly bring joy throughout the season.
