These eggs had reached my appreciation expiration date. Fortunately, they got a second life as a tiny DIY eggshell garden and candles. Close one, guys.
Use a spoon or knife to tap the smaller end of the egg and break off a small piece. Remove the yolk and rinse. If you’re using a blown egg, be extra careful to not crack too much of the egg. Then add dirt and lots of wheat grass seeds. Give them some water and watch ‘em grow!
Again, use a spoon or knife to tap the smaller end of the egg and break off a small piece. Clean the eggs and put them back into the carton to keep them steady.
Cut a small length of wick, 4 or so inches, for each egg. Melt the wax in a double broiler. You can use whatever wax you want here – it’s a perfect time to repurpose old candles you already have.
Insert the wick into each egg and pour a small amount of wax into each shell to anchor it. Use your hand to hold the wick upright while the wax cools. When the wick is steady, reheat the wax (if needed) and pour into each of the shells. Then let the wax cool and harden.
