Here\u2019s one step to realizing that dream. For your next weekend brunch, cook up a super yummy egg dish.\n</p><p>When cracking each egg, cut the top of the shell and pour the egg out of the shell to preserve most of the length of the eggshell. Gently rinse before storing. Remember to save the egg carton\u2014this is where your herb starter plants will grow.\n</p><p><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.tasteofhome.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/10%5C/egshell-planters_364861517.jpg?fit=700,700%5C%22" alt='\"Young' plant growing in egg shell width='\"596\"' height='\"596\"'>\n</p><p>Once the shells have dried, use a sharp needle or awl to poke a hole in the bottom of each (for water drainage). Place an eggshell in each carton divot. Fill each most of the way with soil. Place seeds into soil, according to seed-sowing instructions. Mist soil with spray bottle and keep carton in full sun. Water regularly and keep an eye out for sprouts. Once it\u2019s time to transfer into a pot or garden, you can transplant as-is.\n</p><h2>Yolk Separator\n</h2><p>Don\u2019t be fooled by the gadgets you see at the store. The best way to separate egg whites from yolks is to use a good old-fashioned eggshell. Crack an egg in half and slowly pour the white into a bowl. Once the white starts tugging at the yolk, use the jagged side of the eggshell to separate the white. And, hey, don\u2019t discard that yolk either\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.tasteofhome.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/10%5C/seperating-egg-whites_1042222279.jpg?fit=700,700%5C%22" alt='\"Woman' breaks eggs and separates a protein from yolk width='\"640\"' height='\"640\"'>\n</p><h2>Remove Stains From Thermos\n</h2><p>If you\u2019re an avid coffee drinker, you\u2019ve totally experienced this problem: A brown film on the inside of your favorite beverage container. And no matter how hard you scrub, there\u2019s no diminishing the patina. Here\u2019s a solution\u2026you guessed it: eggshells. Add a combination of warm or hot water and crushed eggshells about a third of the way. Close thermos and shake well for a few minutes. The mixture should help break down stains\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.tasteofhome.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/10%5C/cleaning-mug_705054505.jpg?fit=700,700%5C%22" alt='\"Running' water from faucet in kitchen sink width='\"641\"' height='\"641\"'>\n</p><h2>Help Clear Your Skin\n</h2><p>Drop an eggshell into a small container of apple cider vinegar and let it soak for a couple of days.

Mix in a crumbled eggshell (that has been thoroughly rinsed in vinegar and then water, and dried) to the coffee grounds tomorrow morning.

When you have enough eggshells to cover a baking tray, bake them at around 250 degrees until dry. They will be brittle enough to crush easily. Spread the mixture in a feeder or on the ground for birds to munch on. It\u2019s a great source of calcium for the birds\u2014especially for females during the spring, prime time for laying eggs.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.tasteofhome.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/10%5C/bird-in-birdfeeder_772715302.jpg?fit=700,700%5C%22" alt='\"The' great tit sitting on the bird feeder in garden. width='\"639\"' height='\"639\"'>\n</p><h2>Brighten Your Face\n</h2><p>Eggs may be the secret to restoring your skin\u2019s youthful glow.

The eggshell pieces will help prevent food solids from going down the drain, and as the egg starts to break down it acts as a natural abrasive to help clean drain pipes\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.tasteofhome.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/10%5C/drain_660888433.jpg?fit=700,700%5C%22" alt='\"water' draining in washbasin width='\"640\"' height='\"640\"'>\n</p><h2>Say Buh-Bye to Garden Pests\n</h2><p>Eggshells work wonders for your garden plants, but they can also repel pests, too.

If you\u2019ve managed to keep your eggshell partially intact, it makes the perfect vessel for a homemade candle DIY. Simply melt in candle wax a clean dry shell and add a wick. Keep your candle sitting upright by placing it in an egg cup or bowl shallow bowl filled with sand.\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.tasteofhome.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/10%5C/candle-egg-shells_581263972.jpg?fit=700,700%5C%22" alt='\"Egg' candles for easter decoration>\n</p><h2>Paint a Masterpiece\n</h2><p>Paint-filled eggshells can help make the Pollock-esque painting of your dreams.

Once the spring temperatures soften the soil, you can sprinkle and mix the ground eggshells you\u2019ve been saving into your garden for a great source of calcium carbonate for the soil. An added bonus: they reduce soil acidity.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.tasteofhome.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/10%5C/garden_689194984.jpg?fit=700,700%5C%22" alt='\"Gardening\"' width='\"621\"' height='\"621\"'>\n</p><h2>Make DIY Sidewalk Chalk\n</h2><p>The main ingredients are eggshells, flour and food coloring.
