Recipe:
Wash and dry eggshells
Paint with acrylic paint, let dry
Break into tiny pieces
Paint 3/4 inch round woodsies
Draw a simple Christmas shape
Paint "plate" with clear glue
Add colored eggshells to pattern
Fill in background white pearl eggshells
When dry, seal with several coats of gloss ModPodge.
For my first one, I used my dear Dremel to add a rim to the plate. Not sure I like that? This one only has one coat of ModPodge.
I may try just using cardstock circles instead of woodsies?
If I had real porcelain plates I would try those too...
Hope you have a happy day!

What an intresting idea, never thought about using eggshells for mosaics before. I really must try it.
Una buena idea para utilizar en Navidad.

Thanks for your great tutorial, seen this in big (real life size) and never realised i can do it in miniature too!

What a great idea that could also be applied to so many things. For instance, perhaps a framed piece of art! Thanks so much for the inspiration! Take care!
Beautiful plates. I made some eggs and some other things too, with the same technique. It was so much fun! :)
What a clever idea.. I love the broken tile mosiac look.
