Now cut out the Easter egg.

Draw a serrated line on the back.

Use scissors to cut the egg in half along the line.

Glue the egg onto the opening end of the clothes peg. Make sure that the top half of the egg is glued to the top half of the clothes peg and the bottom half is glued to the bottom half of the clothes peg. Otherwise, the peg can't be opened and closed as usual.

Tip: To add a little element of surprise to the egg, you can also glue a small chick to the back of the bottom half of the egg.
