I was scrolling online and found some really cute eggshell crafts, and I thought I’d share with you some ideas I’m thinking about trying myself. I’m not a crafty person, but I have kids, grandkids, nieces, and nephews who all enjoy a fun and easy craft. I’ll list these crafts in order from easy to a little more difficult.
1. Eggshell Planters: A Fun and Easy Craft
First up is this cute little eggshell family project from Bloesem Kids. This one is super simple, though it could get a little messy—so adult supervision might be needed. They’re like little chia pets, but made with eggshells!
2. Crushed Eggshell Art: Colorful and Creative
The next craft I found is inexpensive and so much fun! Honestly, you wouldn’t even have to color the eggshells if you have a backyard flock with mixed-colored eggs. They’re already colored! But, if not, go ahead and dye those Easter eggs. You'll likely have the stuff you need at home for this one already.
You can find the directions for this cute crushed eggshell craft over at Momtastic.
3. Eggshell Mosaics: A Simple Easter Craft
Another spin off the crushed eggshells is this cute little project that will cost you almost nothing if you have backyard chickens. It’s something cute and fun for Easter! Grab some crushed eggshells, a pencil, paper and some glue. Draw any picture you’d like, outline it with glue and sprinkle your eggshells on the glue. This project can take as little or as much time as you’d like with minimal setup and cleanup. Now, that’s my type of project! This idea was brought to you by makeandtakes.com.
4. Eggshell Vases: A More Advanced Craft
The last eggshell craft takes a little more time and preparation, but the results will be worth it! This is maybe more of an older kid/adult project. There is a saw involved! These cute little eggshell vases would be an adorable hostess gift or Easter centerpiece. If you end up making one of these, I’d love to see a picture! You can find directions for this project on gratefulprayerthankfulheart.
Why I Love Using Eggshells
What I love about raising backyard chickens is that I feel like nothing goes to waste. Everything from table scraps to eggshells - it can all be used! Whether you’re making something simple or a little more advanced like an eggshell vase, crafting with eggshells is inexpensive and a lot of fun!
Happy crafting, friends!
Until next time,
