D.I.Y: Easter Egg Succulent Garden.

I recently stumbled upon this little eggshell garden, which is perfect for an Easter centerpiece or windowsill decoration!  This organic D.I.Y. project takes under an hour and can be created with the use of natural & recyclable materials that you can find around your home & yard!


Materials:

- Dirt
- Egg shells
- Moss
-Succulents
- Flowers (optional, but! gives that great springtime feeling)
- Egg carton


Steps 1 & 2: Fill the empty eggshells with your dirt or potting soil.  Place your succulent sprigs & colorful spring flowers into the dirt.


Steps 3 & 4: Add a layer of moss over the top of the soil.  If needed you can break it apart and squish it underneath the leaves.  Cut off the sides of an egg carton and fill with completed egg shells.


Show it off!
