Egg shells for your Easter decorations: Be inspired by lots of cute ideas

Eggs are certainly one of the classic symbols of Easter: they are used for decorations, they are often painted and become the focus of a fun family Easter Egg Hunt, and then there are the ones we eat (the chocolate ones - large and small), as a typical delicacy on this religious holiday. It is natural, then, for us to use all kinds of eggs to decorate the home in many different ways - and you can also use real egg shells!

Candles, table centerpieces and compositions of all kinds are enriched by this common item that we all usually keep in the kitchen. Check out the ideas below to find out how you could use eggs in your Easter decorations:

A plate or small ceramic tray, filled with moss on which to place the eggshells that hold the candles. To create the candles you just need to have some wicks and melt the wax into the shells! Then you can add flowers or other decorations as you wish.

Inside wooden fruit crates, old drawers or other containers like this to be recycled, you can create compositions with eggs placed in moss. In addition to transforming them into candles, you can put flowers into them, perhaps from the wild or even artificial ones, if you have them.

And if you can't find a suitable container to hold the candles mentioned above, you can decorate an egg carton for this same purpose!

Again, with a little glue you could glue the bottom of the eggs (or the egg carton) to a wooden board - even one made from an old, wooden pallet will do.

You could also arrange the eggs in a circle on a large, round tray or dish, interspersed with herbs and flowers and maybe even filled with candies or chocolates, also in the shape of eggs.

They are also beautiful as a decoration of a rustic style, mounted on a wooden disc (for example, a thin cut-through from a tree trunk).

And staying with the wooden disc, you could put the eggs all upright, gluing their bases, and again putting flowers into them!

In this way, you could also use them with a large candle in their center.

And why not make place cards out of them by putting half a shell inside a plastic cap (to stabilise it) and then decorating it in a simple way - perhaps as if it had hair made from a large flower?

If you are able to only open the eggs on one side, you can decorate their insides and hang them on your Easter tree.

And if you can't manage to crack them how you need them, you can always use a plastic egg as a template from which to create papier-mâché ones!

Happy Easter!
