Eggshell Candles, Easter Crafts

It is simple to make these tiny eggshell candles that will light up your table for Easter! The light glows through the eggshells. Make lots of these for a beautiful effect.

Materials:

• raw eggs
• wax crystals (can be purchased anyplace where candle making supplies are sold)
• birthday candles
• eggcups
• egg dying materials

Directions:

1. Carefully break the eggs about 1/3 of the way from the top. Use or discard egg contents; wash shells, dry completely.

2. Dye the eggs or paint them.

3. Trim birthday candles so they are the same height as the eggshell bottoms. Melt the bottom of the candles so they will stand up in the bottom of the eggshell.

4. Fill around the birthday candles with wax crystals. The wax will melt when you light the candles and give off a pretty glow!

5. Place eggshell candles in a bowl of marbles or in individual egg cups.
