Mini bouquet made of eggshells: Easter decoration for hanging

Play Game

 

Spring is knocking – and you simply hang small vases on the branches. A mini bouquet made of eggshells brings exactly this feeling into the house: light, playful and a bit poetic. The egg holds the flowers like a mini vase while the inside continues to work in the kitchen – for example in an Easter cake or as a fried egg. In no time at all, a simple breakfast egg becomes a decorative star on the Easter branch.

Make a mini bouquet out of eggshells

The idea is wonderfully simple to implement: you carefully break the egg at the top until a small opening is created, use the egg for cooking or baking and then clean the eggshell. Inside there is now space for water, moss or flowers. A ribbon that you attach to the inside or outside of the egg ensures that your egg dangles casually from the branch. With a few brush strokes, each bowl can get its own look – from a delicate pastel gradient to bold splashes of color.

Several eggs look particularly beautiful next to each other: sometimes with a single daffodil, sometimes with soft moss and a twig, sometimes with fluffy catkins or delicate dried flowers. This creates a small, floating floral still life at the window or on the set Easter table. And all of this with materials that you mostly have at home anyway.

Tipp: Read here how you can make an Easter tree yourself from branches and twigs to hang mini bouquets made of eggshells from. These fried egg pendants made from pompoms or our Easter wire pendants finally complete the Easter bouquet.

If you want very clean openings, you can first pierce the eggs with a needle or a kebab skewer and let the contents flow out before carefully breaking open the shell at the top. If you are unsure about the glue, stick the ribbon around the outside of the egg and secure it with a nice knot. You can let your creativity run wild when it comes to color design: delicate pastel transitions in a color family look very harmonious, e.g. B. Lilac-rosé-cream or sage green-mint-white. For a particularly elegant look, combine cream-colored eggshell with white ribbon and white flowers.
