Plastic Egg - Mine is ment for candy that is maybe easiest to get a hold of around Easter. If you can find one that stands up, thats even better ^^
Cling wrap
Masking tape
(Cotton if you are doing it like I am)
Measuring tape
Pen/Marker
Cirkle template - if you don't have one, use some small round object as a guide ^^

Worbla* - When I work on my project I usually just improvise, so I don't have any exact measurements 😕 but I did use about 1 sheet of 75x50cm I think (I had some laying around after a cosplay project 😅) Worbla does stretch quiet a bit, so a small pieces do go a long way after all 🙃
What you can do is to buy the plastic egg first, then measure the size(volume?) of it and calculate how much worbla you'll need. (As you can se in my video I have 2 layers for the three sides, 3 layers for the bottom and 1 for the top) To do that you can cover the plastic egg in cling-wrap (plastic wrap or what its called 🤣) tape it, as I do in the video, and draw on the pieces. Then gently cut the pieces out and use the cut outs as a pattern to calculate how much worbla you need 😊
