I love this idea. What is on the bottom of the shell to keep the wax in?

The bottom of the shell is intact, which is why I added the warning to make sure it's in a stable holder, imagining a shell full of liquid wax getting bumped and spilled.....

Oh ok. For some reason I was thinking it was flat/opened somehow to sit flat.
Thx.

Nice! It won't be long before all the baubles will need to be pulled out of storage.

Who has extra eggs laying around for decorating this time of year lol this seen like a summer contest too me. Perhaps I can round up some fart eggs for decorating my customers think those are put in there as a joke anyway.

This is from the last week. I'm running out of egg recipes...

@N F C ..I like this. I'm thinking about making a set for my sister for Christmas. Questions...

How long did you dry the shells for? Did you use a glue gun? Would light brown and blue shells work? Did you put sonething on the inside on the bottom?

This will give you some info on how I made the candle holder:
creative-crafting-with-eggshells.72421

It didn't take long for the shells to dry. Just to make the pieces neater looking, I did remove as much of the membrane as possible.

I made a couple of the votives using dyed egg shells (using the type of dye you color Easter eggs with) and found that over time, the dye faded a bit. If you use eggs that are naturally colored, that probably wouldn't be a problem.

Give it a try and let me see a picture of what you come up with!
