ONE DOZEN MEDIUM SIZE BLOWN EGGSHELLS
Be ready for spring craft season with blown eggshells from my free-ranging backyard hens. Why settle for cheap plastic eggs when you can have the real thing? These eggshells are not mechanically blown. They have a small hole in each end through which the contents are blown. Then I rinse the eggs thoroughly and air dry them. Consequently the shells don't spoil or smell. They'll last for years or until broken!
This dozen is from my Buff Orpington hen, Midge, who lays medium sized light tan/beige eggs.
Blown eggshells are great for:
- egg painting (thread a ribbon through them and hang on an Easter egg tree)
- Pysanky or Ukrainian egg dying
- Easter egg hunts
- holiday wreaths
- baby announcements (roll up a note and tuck it inside)
- baby shower favors
- gender reveal
- scavenger hunts (with the clues inside, the hunters have to crack the eggs for next steps!)
- baskets and bowls
I'm selling several other dozen eggshells this week, so check them out. If you buy more than one dozen let me know so I can calculate combined shipping.
