Someone gave us a pack of pistachios and I've been throwing away the shells as I eat them. I'm wondering if the shells can be used for anything at all rather than just being thrown away.

Do you use them in pots or in the garden.

@skysnap I rarely use pinterest, but this looks like a good idea.

I had stuck them to a bottle and that looked like a beautiful vase.

You might want to add those to your compost pit if you have one

I do compost once in a while. I thought these shells took a long time composting.

@pitstop yes, they do take a long time to compost... You can also try to use them for mulching

@pitstop, you can use it as decorative material like a box covering. Flatten the shells and glue them unto the box,
