Materials:
- Egg shells with a hole at the top (big enough to fit a small plant)
- Acrylic paint
- Paint brushes
- Water
- Soil
- Small plants or seeds
Instructions:
- Paint your design of choice onto the egg. Pretty it up with fun and funky designs to make your garden dazzle.
- Let it sit to dry for a few hours, or until they are dry to the touch
- Fill emptied-out egg shells half-way with soil.
- Add your small plant or seed, then fill the rest of the shell with soil to the top of the egg
- Water your new plant and watch it grow.
Bonus: When the plants grow and need repotting, you can use the crushed egg shells as fertilizer.
