Eggshell Planters

Biodegradable eggshell planters are a fun way to make seed starters. Once the plants begin to outgrow their shells, transplant them to soil—shell and all!

• Empty eggshells






• Bleach water
• Egg dye or acrylic craft paint
• Cotton balls
• Planting soil
• Herb seeds
• Empty egg carton

Instructions

1. RINSE the inside of the eggshell with bleach water to make sure it is clean. Turn upside down to drain. Let dry.
2. DYE or decorate eggshells as desired. Let dry.
3. PLACE cotton ball in the bottom of the eggshell. TOP with planting soil.






4. SPRINKLE seeds over soil.
5. PLACE filled eggshell in egg carton. WATER seeds and place near sunlight as recommended on seed package.

Extras

• To make bleach water combine 1 quart of water with 1 teaspoon bleach.
• Make faces on the eggshells so that when the herbs start to grow it’ll look like hair!
