any suggestions for designing an egg drop container?

i need help w/ designing a capsule for an egg drop. the egg will be raw and will be dropped from 8 meters. we aren't allowed to use helium-filled balloons, plastic containers, tissue boxes, and of course glass. i have an idea, but i need some feedback if you think i should add something to it to make it better. so, what i had in mind is a parachute. i made a parachute using tissue paper, then i'm gonna add some yarn to 4 sides of the parachute. i'm gonna connect the yarn to a paper cup that i will fill with foam and cotton. what do you think? any suggestions, go ahead...thank you!
so far, most of are saying that the tissue paper isn't gonna work. what should i use instead of tissue paper? thank u guys for the suggestions:)
oh yeah, i glued 4 pieces of tissue paper together to make sort of like a hot air balloon kind of style. the tissue paper is pretty strong. when i was gluing, it never ripped.

Layers, Start with a hard layer that can take a blow and get softer as you get closer to the egg. I would suspend the egg in a 1 ft cardboard box. Use rubber bands attatched to all corners and sides with staples and make a " nest out of panty hose. The layer outside panty hose I would use foam, then outside that packing peanuts, followed by the box, that should take a pretty good blow, repeatedly, let me know if you try it.
