DIY: Mini Mummy

by Jennifer Cooper, posted on October 8th, 2012 in Arts & Crafts, Halloween

This Halloween throw a mini party. We made decorations and party hats, now let’s make some guests—mini mummies.

For this project, you’ll need:
12 gauge wire (found in the jewelry section of most craft stores)
wire cutters
muslin

Step 1
Cut a length of wire measuring roughly two feet.

Step 2
Start shaping the wire into a body. I find it’s easiest to start at the head and work my way around the body: left arm, left leg, right leg, right arm, back to head.

Step 3
Tear muslin into thin strips. I recommend no wider than a 1/2 inch. To do this, make a one inch snip into the fabric every 1/2 inch and rip it. It’ll tear in a straight line.

Step 4
Wrap. I start at the head and work my way down the body.
