Gathering the materials

You will need: for each place setting, 1 rounded glass / 1 mini nest (found at most craft stores) / 1 eggshell / 1 small terrarium plant / washi tape / self-adhesive monogram letter. For the tablescape: plates / glasses / silverware/ burlap / muslin / a basket and low vases / natural branches such as forsythia or redbud / moss balls.

Empty the Eggshell

Break the top of the eggshell with the side of a spoon. Continue tapping around the top of the egg, creating a hole about 1" wide. Remove the top and empty out the egg. Note: you may need to poke the yolk to help it release more easily. Consider reserving the eggs for cooking.

Preparing the eggshell

Use your thumb and forefinger to break away small pieces of eggshell all the way around the top of the egg making a hole that is just large enough to fit your terrarium plant (about 1 3/4" diameter).
