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.
