Eco-friendly Pixie Dust

We know that all pixies love faerie dust but of course glitter just isn't good for the planet. So what is a pixie to do? Well here, as promised, and as a big thank you to all our facebook friends, is the recipe for our eco-friendly 'Pixie-Dust'. And the secret ingredient is, quite simply, egg-shells!

First you will need to wash and dry the egg-shells thoroughly. Next you need to break them down as finely as possible. A pestle and mortar is ideal for this but you could try using a bag and a rolling pin.  If you want to sprinkle it on your garden you could leave it quite crunchy - it may even help keep the slugs off your flowers. But with a bit of persistance you can grind it into a light dust which you can apply to your skin. Maybe dab a little on your nose for a cheeky pixie look?

You could also try using coloured sugar (like the type used in cake decorating) for your arts and crafts projects, not forgetting a little on your faery cakes of course. We can picture your pixie parties now - and all 100% eco-friendly.
