What’s On My Desk Wednesday – Walnut Shells

With the success of my two walnut shell Christmas tree decorations from a couple of weeks ago, I was really keen to get on with making some more, but I only had a few shells left and was impatient to find more, I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get any locally at this time of year and if I did, knew they wouldn’t be that cheap, especially as I wanted a couple of nets.

So, then I got to looking on eBay and found a 1kg bag of organic walnut shells for BBQ smoking for £1.99 (plus £2.99 P & P).  When I looked at the pictures it looked as though there were plenty of half shells within all the other bits, so I threw caution to the wind and bought them.

I was not disappointed, I was able to rescue more halves that I will probably need/use this year, as well as finding some other interesting shapes that I think I may be able to make something else with, bargaintastic!
