a use for those leftover Easter Eggs

I made these on Easter Sunday night but I wanted to have a grassy bed for them so I had to wait for my chia sprouts to be big enough.  At this length they are a bit too bitter to eat as sprouts but they will be cute on our table for a little while.

OK this is really a no brainer but I still love them.  I was sitting on the couch Sunday night recovering from Easter and I was holding some plastic eggs.  That was when I noticed there are holes in the top and bottom and they totally remind me of salt and pepper shakers.

You have to cover the holes on the bottom with tape or something else.  If you don’t like the idea of tape touching your salt and peppa, just make a tiny bit of salt dough and push it into the bottom part of your egg.  I am talking like a jelly bean size of dough.  Smush it through the holes in the bottom and it will stay put, hold your salt and pepper in and it also makes it stand up (think weeble wobbles).

I then took some scrapbooking rub on letters and put an S and a P and voila.  Oh you should put a teenie piece of clear tape to keep the egg from opening.

    That is really clever! I would have never thought of that. I have a zillion of the things… How many do you think would be too many?
