Do you remember our DIY Eggshell Flower Centerpiece or our DIY Eggshell Succulent Centerpiece? I decided to recreate it with colorful eggshells and tea-light candles for a cute Easter centerpiece.
Little Aries loved how the eggs lit up and thought it was for her birthday, since her birthday is only in a few weeks.
Next time you are cooking breakfast, carefully remove the egg yolk & egg white and save your eggshells for this fun craft.

To create this centerpiece you will need the following:
– Eggshells (make sure the opening of the eggshell is wide enough for a tea light)
– Food Coloring
– 2 Tablespoons of vinegar
– Warm Water
– Tealight Candles
– Egg Holder (I bought mine at Sur La Table but I’ve seen similar at World Market)
Instructions:
I dyed my eggshells two different ways..
– If you have empty eggshells, wash and clean your eggshells, removing the membrane as well. Then simply dye and sink them in a cup of warm water with a few tablespoons of vinegar and a few drops of food coloring for 5-10 minutes. Let dry completely.
– I didn’t have enough empty eggshells so I had to use a few extra whole eggs. Once they were dyed, I cracked the egg, leaving a wide opening for the tealight. Wash and remove the egg membrane. Let dry completely.
– Add the tealight inside the egg. Lit up and enjoy.
Be extra cautious when you lit up the candles and KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

This is a lovely project.
If one does not have the egg-cup holder,
use any flat container,
filling it half way with rock salt
and place the eggs into this “bedrock”.
Happy Easter Planning

Really sweet and different from all the decorated easter eggs that are out there! And your pictures are amazing 🙂
I will definitely try this project with my kids but here in France, egg shells are much browner than yours and I wonder if the colours will come out as bright…?
