What is something to make with pistachio shells? It seems like such a waste to throw them away.?

I thought about something mosiac, but that seems like a LOT of work - dyeing them, etc. They are hard as rocks and seem like they would last forever? Any ideas?

the mosaic would only take a long time to glue. you could put them in groups and spray paint them, then glue them on... if that makes sense



and congrats Robert S, for quitting smoking :-) its been 5 months for me now and it feels great!
Reply:They make good garden mulch. And here is a guy who makes little people out of them.

But why not make a nice necklace, by boring small holes in them, paint them any color you like, f.i. with nail polish, and then string them.
Reply:Packing material! Who needs styrofoam "peanuts" when you have shells of their cousins?
Reply:Have you ever seen those plant hangers that are made out of those little sea shell? Bet you could something like that with the pistachio shells.



Mice...



I like the mosiac idea the best though... But yeah it would be a lot of work... but then all things worth doing require some sacrifice... right?

My brother and I are both pistachio-addicts (it has replaced cigarettes). We simple use them as fuel in his wood burning stove! Not necessarily a "Hobby or Craft" use... but it keeps his office / wood-shop warm while we build furniture.



I DO like the "mice" thought... though I'd go insane with that many little mice !!
