Find an old box, book, anything really. paint it up. Gather some old eggs shells from breakfast and pull the thin membrane out from inside. put a layer of glue on top of the painted item, and smash the egg shells on top (Thats the fun part hehe). after everythings dried, put a layer of gloss finish on top. Make a DIY ornament or jewelry to put inside and wrap it up! You got a funky DIY eggshell mosaic

That looks great! Did you have green eggs and ham? The top of the box has green eggshells. :D

This is so cool. I love mosaics. What's great about your project is that it is a lot less expensive than buying tiles.
props on thinking outside the box (or should I say egg carton).

i know i love saving $$ haha. the idea doesnt even have to stop there. you can write out somebodys name or something on the egg shells after they're glued down. be creative
