thanks all for ideas, how do i make paper machie

Hi Skintsaver my giant creme egg is made from papier mache - its really easy to do. I just put some flour in an old container added water then mixed. Add as much water as you feel but make sure it still has a thick consistency. I cut newspaper into strips and then dipped them into the mixture. For the egg shape I blew up a balloon and pasted the dipped paper over the whole balloon approx 3 layers and left it dry for 24 hrs +.
Its very messy but seemed to work ok for me
Hope that helps x

Last year I made a top hat and had a rabbit bursting out of the top, I decorated it all over and then had dangling eggs off from rim (bit like the aussie hats). Sorry haven't got a piccie but if I find it I will post one for you x

Or you could make a boiled egg with a spoon and soldiers x
