Have you ever wondered how to make eggs stand up without using those darling little egg cups? Well, today I’ll show you how :) And yes, today is Thursday, not Tuesday … {life … happened. I’m sure you understand}.

This project is perfect for all sorts of celebrations: Easter, Earth Day, baby showers or farm-themed birthdays – and if you use the eggs as vases for tiny arrangements, the list grows even more. You could even adapt these to use as mini herb pots on your kitchen windowsill!

The materials for this project are very simple:

– egg shells {either empty for vases or with grass growing in them}

– a candle

– matches

– a platter {or whatever you’d like the eggs to be stood on}

Step one: Light your candle

Step two: find where you’d like your first egg to be placed and tip your candle so that the hot wax drips on the exact spot {holding your candle at a slightly upside down angle – 100-110 % works well – allows the flame to melt your candle quickly so that you can work before your pool hardens. Experiment a bit and find the method that works for you :)}

Step three: Quickly press an egg in the center of this puddle, holding it upright for a few seconds until the wax hardens.

Repeat step three until you’ve completed your arrangement, and then step back to admire. :)

Enjoy! I’d love to hear how yours turn out. :)
