I am a sucker for Halloween decorations. I just can’t help myself. I don’t know where this obsession came from, but I SERIOUSLY cannot get enough of it! After all, it is pretty much my favorite Holiday next to Christmas. What about you?
The other day while I was strolling through JoAnns, I came across the cutest mummy and it got me thinking. I never have thought to use mummies in my decor. I guess I never really thought of it and really, I haven’t seen anything cute enough to buy. You know how the saying goes, “if you can’t find it, make it.” Honestly, I just made that one up. But, it’s true right?
I found some creepy cloth and a wire wreath from The Dollar Tree and decided to make a cute, little mummy wreath. This little guy is so simple and so darn cute!
Here is what you will need to make it:
- Wire wreath
- Creepy cloth. I used gray and white.
- Giant eyes
- Glue gun
- white and black paint
- spider embellishments
First, I started by just simply wrapping the creepy cloth all around the wire wreath form. I tied it with a knot and secured it with hot glue.
Next, I grabbed the eyes and painted them black.
I then grabbed the gray creepy cloth and wrapped it around the wire wreath in the center, covering up the middle. This is where I will place the eyes.
Once I got enough of a base with the creepy cloth, I flipped the wreath over and glued the eyes on.
This is what it will look like when you flip it back over.
After looking at it for a few, I thought something looked a little weird. I realized that it was the eyes. The black eyes just didn’t look right. So, I took them out and painted them white.
So much better! How cute is this little guy?
