Question
how do i make a parachute for an egg

Answer
Get a piece of fabric,about 3 feet square. An old sheet would be good. Sew/tie strong cords to the corners. Tie them together about three feet from the corners. Fasten the egg to this knot. I suggest packaging tape.

Try it out. If it is inadequate make a new larger one.
