DIY Eggshells Craft Ideas

we have a beautiful DIY Egg shells Craft in this app!

While you can have lots of fun dying eggs in numerous ways and using them to make fun Easter crafts and decorations did you know that you can also use the shells in some fun Easter egg creations. There is no reason to throw away your colored shells (even after the eggs have been eaten). You can use your Easter eggs in some fun and creative projects that only lengthen the fun of Easter. These Easter crafts can be done in an afternoon or can be part of an Easter craft party. Either way you will have lots of fun making them! So for some fresh new Easter craft ideas here are some ideas for Easter egg shell creations-

Chick in an Egg- This creative craft uses the halves of the egg that are left after you break open the egg. This craft works best using a raw egg that has been broken open rather then a blown or hard boiled egg.

What you will need:

Cotton balls

Egg shells

Glue gun

Paper

Black and orange paint

Paintbrush

Instructions for the project: Take the two cotton balls and glue them together. Take the egg, crack it and make sure all of the insides are cleaned out and then wash it well. You will want to make sure the egg is in equal halves as much as possible. Take the cotton balls and glue them to the inside of the dried egg. Using the glue gun make two little dots as eyes on the cotton balls and paint them black. Take a piece of paper and cut out a beak and paint it orange then glue it on.

Shell Mosaic- This colorful craft is a great one for young crafters who do not need any advanced crafting skills to make this.

What you will need:

Colored Egg Shells

Poster board

Glue

Instructions for the project: The first step is to make sure that you save all the shells you peel off your Easter eggs! Using your hands or something heavy break the colored egg shell pieces into small enough pieces so that they are fairly flat. Have the child draw a design on a dark piece of poster board. Using a cotton swab or an old paint brush and working in small sections liberally spread glue onto your design. Carefully stick the eggshell pieces, colored side up, onto the glue. Continue with this process until your design is completely filled in with egg shells. Set the mosaic aside to dry completely.
