Party Mummies

Welcome, Glitterinas!

I'm so glad you stopped by 

Pink Glitter!

I made some mummies for our 

Halloween party 

and I thought you might want
to make some, too.

 Here are the simple steps 

I used to make these 

mummies.

My husband made the wooden bases 

for me from leftover wood pieces.

A piece of thin wood is the base
with a piece of 2X4 standing up for
the top.

I used some thin, linen-type, white 

material for the wrapping and 

each mummy also got two wiggly eyes.

I cut long strips of the white material.....

 jagged edges look best for wrapping the mummies.

To wrap each mummy, I started at the top, 

with a strip of material that had a knot tied in the end.

Then I just wrapped and wrapped...

around and around....

.....when one strip of material runs out, 

tie another strip to it, leaving the ends sticking 

out about 

an inch past the knot.

About two or three wraps from the top

I left a gap in the material 

for the eyes.

When I finished wrapping the whole mummy

I glued two wiggly eyes on the space I left at the top.

Kinda cute, huh?

I just kept on wrapping until all the 

mummy bases were covered with 

strips of material and had two eyes.

These mummies will stand in a lively row 

at our Halloween party 

as part of the decorations.

Until the party, some will be standing by 

the fireplace.....

.....and some will be standing in the 

dining room.

If you drop by to visit,

please don't be too frightened by 

the mummies that we have 

standing around just 

waiting for 

Halloween!

If you are having a party

you might think about adding some 

cute mummies to your decorations.

Leave me a comment and let me 

know what you think of my 

mummies!

Thanks, Glitterinas!

You are the best.

Until next time,

Tammy
