Hollowed-out eggshells make naturally beautiful vases for tiny flower arrangements. Break an egg at the top of its shell, drain the contents, and carefully rinse out the inside. Next, fill the empty shell with room-temperature water and place it in an eggcup for stability. Finally, insert small cuttings of your favorite blossoms (we used lilacs, lily of the valley, and violas). Individually or grouped together in a centerpiece, these tiny arrangements make a wonderful addition to the place settings at your table.
I love this idea thanks so much for sharing I have featured it on my blog with a link back to here :)

This was the very first craft I made thanks to visiting Martha's website.. There is a photo here on my blog.. http://justasmidgen.com/2012/04/05/momofuku-funfetti-cookies/
They were just so quick and pretty to make and perfect for Easter! xx Smidge
My favorite spring centerpiece is a TickleMe Plant. The TickleMe Plant is a conversation piece as well because it closes its leaves and lowers its branches when Tickled!
Search pet TickleMe Plant. It was easy to grow and now you can grow them as a party favor. Awesome idea

Don't know what happened to the rest of my comment but you can purchase egg cups at Crate

Where can I buy the egg cups??
@TheTLC blow out your eggs first, dye if desired, then open up the [filtered word] wider using a needle until you can pull away bits of shell with your fingers.
...and then have omelets for dinner. Read here about how to freeze you eggs: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Eggs/FreezingEgg.htm
How do you get the eggshells so perfect? I'm sure there must be a trick. Mine just crumbled.
Please Help!
so adorable! love it.
I want to know what you're doing with the eggs you remove from the shells.
Not wasting them, I hope.
These are adorable and I love the fact that you dyed some even though I don't see it mentioned, I'm stealing this idea just like winterbeach is LOL!!!!! BEAUTIFUL
Now this is classic Martha Stewart:: sweet, simple, easy, inexpensive and so refreshing. LOVE IT! I am so stealing this idea.
