Supplies Needed for Crushed Egg Shell Cra!:

*coloured egg shells *pencil *glue *heavy cardstock *tray

First colour dye some hard boiled eggs.

(For each dye bath combine 1/2 cup boiling water with 1 tsp vinegar and 10 drops of food
coloring in a bowl… Dip hard-cooked eggs in dye bath for 3-5 minutes, extend !me for a
richer colour … Use tongs or a slo"ed spoon to remove eggs and place on wax paper to dry,
blot any excess with a paper towel).

Let the eggs dry, then crack them open and
save all the shell pieces. You’ll need to let all
the shell pieces dry again for a while.

Place the eggs shells in a plas•c bag and crush
them to small bits.

Get some paper and place it on a tray or

newspaper. With your pencil draw an image,

then trace your glue on top of the image.

Sprinkle your egg shells over the glue.

Shake oﬀ the extra, pu"ng the extra back into

the bag.

Let the images dry.
