Let’s Do It

Prepare Egg Shells

• Start by removing the insides of your eggs, leaving behind a non-perishable outer shell
• While standing over a large bowl, take a washed, uncooked egg and use a needle to carefully poke a small hole in the top and then poke a larger hole in the bottom
• Blow through the top of the egg until all of the insides are removed
• Carefully wash your empty eggs and set aside to dry

Centerpiece

• Place floral foam inside planter and pile on a generous layer of moss
• Gently chip away at eggshells so they look like they've been freshly hatched
• Fill eggshells with soil and plant small sprigs of Alyssum
• Display the freshly planted Alyssum (in eggshells) on top of the moss
• Tie burlap ribbon around planter
