1. Shampoo Eggs are packed with protein and thus a welcome treatment for the hair. Whisk an egg and then run it through your hair with your fingers and massage it into your scalp. The egg yolk will treat distressed and damaged hair as well as moisturize it, while the egg white will clean the hair by sticking to dirt and pulling it away. Once fully applied to the hair, wash the egg out with lukewarm water. 2. Egg-White Facial Separate the egg white from the egg yolk. Whisk the egg white until frothy and using your hands, apply a layer to your face and neck. The egg white tightens your skin and reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Let the mixture stay on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing with warm water. 3. Egg-Yolk Facial Separate the egg white from the egg yolk. Whisk the egg yolk until it is no longer clumped together. Use your hands to apply an even layer to the face and neck. The fat in the egg yolk moisturizes dry skin. Wait 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water. 4. Compost Eggshells are packed with calcium, which helps plants to grow. Crush eggshells and add them to your compost. 5. Arts and Crafts Prick a hole with a pin in one end of the egg and let the egg white and yolk slowly drain out. You are essentially left with an empty egg. Decorate the eggshell to your liking and admire your creative ornament! This is also a creative arts and crafts experience for kids, as it is both challenging to keep the eggshell in one piece and fun to do. 6. Ice-Cube Solution Throwing a party and run out of ice cube trays? Save yourself a trip to the store by using an egg carton instead. The size is similar and the result the same. 7. Edible Paint Isolate the egg white from the egg and whisk it with 1 tablespoon of water and food coloring of choice. Paint pastries and cakes, or any appropriate food item, for a decorative, edible, and easy way to bring color to your creations. 8. Unclogged Sink Leave crushed eggshells in the strainer of your sink and it will help to break up anything that passes through to prevent clogging. 9. Makeshift Band-Aid Apply a thin layer of whisked egg whites to a minor cut.

Jewelry Enhancer Eggs contain sulfur, which oxidizes commercially-sold jewelry with sterling .925 or lower, helping to enhance jewelry’s design. Hard boil 1-2 eggs, crumble the egg yolk, and place the the egg yolk at the bottom of a container. Top the crumbled egg yolk with 1-2 paper towels, and then place the jewelry atop the paper towels.

Plant Fertilizer The calcium in eggshells promotes plant growth. Crush eggshells and mix them into fertilizer. 12. Coffee Taste Enhancer By adding crushed eggshells to ground coffee before brewing, you can bring the coffee’s taste to a newer, and better, level.

Small Ornaments Place small Christmas ornaments in the holes of empty egg cartons to prevent them from breaking in storage. 14. Leather Cleaner Whisk egg whites and apply a thin layer on the affected area of leather. Lightly scrub the egg white away. It will leave the leather both clean and shiny, as egg whites cling to residue and help to pull it away from leather. 15. Seed Pots Planting seeds in a big garden could be a bit overwhelming for a new plant. This is where an empty egg carton comes in handy. Fill the carton holes with fertilizer and plant seedlings in each one. After the plants grow beyond the capacity of the carton, transfer them to a larger garden, where they are now prepared to flourish without being overpowered. 16. Pest Deterrent Spread crushed eggshells around the edges of your garden and the jagged edges will ward off all incoming slugs, snails, and cutworms. Their soft bodies will be harmed by the eggshells, so the hungry pests will steer clear of your plants. 17. Cat Deterrent Wherever you want to prevent your cat from going, spread crushed eggshells around that area. After a few tries, the cat will stay away from the area, as the shells will bother its feet. 18. Plant Water Don’t get rid of the water you used to boil eggs. Instead, after it has cooled, water your plants with it, which is packed with nutrients. 19. Glue Egg whites are a great substitute to glue. If you run out of regular glue, whisk egg whites and brush a thin layer between paper or light cardboard to help them adhere together. 20.
