any suggestions on structure or design? would be very grateful !! ty
As much tape as you wants? Sounds like it could be useful as a packing material. Make rolls of it and place in an intermediate space around the egg and newpaper.

If you feel like using a LOT of tape, make the newspaper into a large hollow ball and fill it with wads of tape, egg at the middle. The same concept seems to have worked on Mars...
