- Medium egg-shape foam, such as Styrofoam
- Hot-glue gun and glue sticks

- Scissors; metallic gold cord
- Starting at the narrow end of the egg form, hot-glue pistachio shells around the foam in a tight bud.
- Glue shells around egg-shape form layer by layer until the entire form is covered. Some shells may fit a space better than others depending on width or "cupping" of the shell.

- Cut gold metallic cord and thread through the eye and tie into a hanging loop.
