What can I do with Egg shells?

You can sprinkle them around your garden to deter pests; snails and slugs don't like crawling over the sharp edges.

I also saw an awesome chalk recipe I have yet to try: 5-8 eggshells (finely ground), 1 tsp hot water, 1 tsp flour, food coloring optional…mix and pack into toilet tissue rolls and let dry. Have fun!!

I had a sisterinlaw years ago that made art with the crushed shells. Personally I'd use extras for the garden. Very nutritious for plants. Just crush them and add to the soil.

If you can break them completely in half you can make votive candles out of them. You can get all the candle making stuff at Michaels. Either leave in shell or peal it away.

Egg shells are a great source of calcium and your tomato plants love them!

I actually start flower and vegetable seeds right inside of an eggshell. Once ready, plant eggshell and all in the soil. Plants do thrive with the added calcium, and no crushing needed.

,As a kid growing up, I used to see my dad making coffee in the morning and using the egg shells from his breakfast crushed on top of the coffee grounds. His coffee always tasted better than my moms because she did not use the shells.

After cracking the egg, peel out the inside lining, put it into the compost. Lay the egg shell on a plate or pan and allow to dry Completely. Then use one of the nutra-bullets coffee grinder blades & blend into a Very fine powder. I even use a fine sifter, any shells to large to go threw the sifter either regrind or use to put around plants to keep slugs & such off. Take the fine powder pour into you water can, add water & stir. Keep stirring as you water each plant. This add calcium much better than just using the shells in the soil or on top of it.

You can take clean egg shells and powder them up in a blender. Strain to get out any chunks that are left. Add this fine calcium powder to oatmeal, breads, etc. for a calcium boost to your diet,

If you feel like doing some craft with it, you can do mosaic with it. Rinse the shells clean and dry them up. Crack them and glue the pieces over any image you like on thick paper. l. When it's all dry, you can use acrylic or watercolor paint over it.
