I thought I would take photos of the next few steps instead of video uploading.  Below I have the final steps for making your eggshell planters!

After you have cleaned your eggshells, you want to create a drainage hole then. You can create a hole by using either an awl or using a wide needle (tapestry needle). If you use a needle and hammer (as shown in the photo), gently tap the hammer on the needle to puncture the shell.  You can do this on an old cutting board. Some eggshells may still have some leftover membrane from the egg, just take your finger and remove it from the shell.

Next, Place your Eggshells back in the carton and spray gently with water using a spray bottle.

Then, fill the eggshell by adding potting soil mix using a small spoon. We like to use organic potting soil. After filling, gently shake the shell to even out the soil.

Plant your seeds according to the directions on the pack to determine the depth and any additional instructions for plant care.

Once planted, spritz again with the water bottle and place in a well-lit area with sun indoors. (I love to place ours in our window seals).

Water your plants accordingly, and be patient. I was so excited to see our seeds starting to make their appearance on the soil!

Once the sprouts grow, they need to be transferred.  You can plant them directly in the ground or in a larger planter. To do this, simply crack the eggshell by giving it a gentle squeeze all around. This will allow the plant’s roots to grow out from the eggshell itself. The eggshell serves more than just being a planter but is also biodegradable and will provide nourishment for the plant as it dissolves in the soil.
