Ornaments Out of Decorated Eggshells

Something I learned to do as a teenager, was egg decorating. It took a lot of concentration but was so worth the end results. This is something particularly good for Christmas as you can make some stunning ornaments to hang on the tree, or get a stand for the egg to have as other decorations not associated with the tree at all.

They can make lovely gifts. If you really enjoy doing it, you can extend how much work you put into it, creating things like jewelery boxes, etc. This type of thing can be as inexpensive or as expensive as the creator wishes.

Some things I did with them (using various types/sized eggs) was to cut into the egg and remove a portion, then create a Christmas scene in the hollow egg. Add glitter around the cut hole used to view the scene, then in a nice pattern around the rest of the egg to give it a really nice sparkle. For my mother's gift, one year after I'd been doing this for some time, I used an ostrich egg to create a jewelery box, lined it with silk, added the bits of hardware necessary. Tt turned out so much better than I'd dare to hope. Good luck with whatever you find for them!
