🌿 Bloom where you are planted. 🌿

Materials (Makes 6):

Six Napkin Rings
Six Raw Eggs
Egg Holder (or Egg Carton)
Dish Soap
Decorative Moss
Flower or Greenery cuttings
1 Cup of Water

Instructions:

1. Make your Egg Planters: Gently crack the top 1/3 of the egg and peel away slowly. Pour the yolk and egg white into a small bowl (for either scrambling or cooking later, yum!). Once your shell is emptied, rinse it under warm water and use dish soap to gently clean the egg inside and out. Though the risk is low, this decontaminates your Egg Planters from any possible Salmonella bacteria. After rinsing your egg, prop it up in your Egg Holder or Egg Carton to dry. Repeat on the rest of the eggs.

2. Make your Egg Nests: Using the Napkin Rings, carefully lay them flat on the table and then fill in the “hole” with Decorative Moss. This does not have to be perfect, but will create your “Nest” to hold the Egg Planter in place once you’re ready. (Note: Feel free to use ANY style of Napkin Rings you choose. There are so many amazing options and not all Nests look the same!)

3. Fill your Planters with about 1/3 with Water. This will keep your flowers fresh! (Keep each Planter in the Egg Holder (or Egg Carton) until you’re ready to move them to their Nests.)

4. Create your Flowers for the Planter: Use tiny Flower or Greenery cuttings and arrange them to your liking within each Egg Planter. This can be as simple as adding 1 or 2 tiny stems and being complete, to crafting a mini boutonniere of many different floral varieties to sit inside.

 5. Once your arrangements are complete, you can move them to the Nests, making sure they’re steady in the Moss, before placing them on your table.
