How to do it 
1
Mix the papier-mâché pulp in water in the ratio: 3 parts pulp to 1 part water.
2
Inflate a balloon slightly smaller than the size you want your finished Easter egg to be.
3
Cover the balloon with papier-mâché pulp, but leave one section uncovered to create a hole or opening in the egg.
4
Adjust the opening so that its edge is smooth and even.
5
Deflate the balloon.
6
Remove the balloon from the inside of the egg.
7
Paint the inside of the egg with Plus Color craft paint and leave to dry.
8
Attach a string for hanging by making a hole in the top of the egg with a needle and feed the string through the hole.
9
Tie a knot in the string on the inside of the egg.
10
Make a nest from sisal.
11
Place the sisal nest inside the egg.
12
Place Easter chicks in the nest.
