One thing I have noticed around our house is we have jars, lots and lots of jars. Canning jars, baby food jars, even large pickle jars we have hung onto. So what do you do with so many jars? You make crafts out of them of course!
And what could be more cute then these “Mummy Jars!” They are easy to make and add a splash of fun to any Halloween setting. This craft is so simple, even very little children can make one. So let’s get ready to make a few (or more!)
Once you have collected up all your jars of varying sizes, it is time to wrap them mummies up! We had wide gauze, so I cut the strips in half. By cutting the gauze in half, I think, it gave the mummies a more tattered look. Start by putting a dot of craft glue on the jar and attach the gauze. Next? Simply wrap the gauze around the jar till you have your mummy wrapped the way you want it and secure the other end with another dot of craft glue. Use as much or as little gauze as you want because it is all personal preference.
When you have your jar “mummified” the way you want it, simply glue on two wiggle eyes and your done! For an added touch, drop in a tea candle (or one of those fake battery operated candles) in your jar to give it a warm glow. If you use the battery operated candles it can double as a season night light. You could fill the jar with treats and give them to friends or leave them on an elderly neighbors porch as a surprise! We used the jars we made last year as part of our site decorating when we went camping at Halloween!
Hi Mindie! These mummy jars are so cute. I love easy decorating ideas like this for upcoming holidays. Pinning and will be making these for Halloween!

These are so fun Mindie! We have lots of jars too, but they are all filled with goat's milk. Gonna have to empty some so we can make these.

Mindie..how cute…I love jars and hate to throw them away because I know there is always something you can do with them. I have decorated my front porch for Fall-Halloween and I just felt it needed something else and couldn't figure out what….WELL this is perfect.
I hope you don't mind that once I get mine made I share on my blog, OF course giving credit where credit is due where I got the idea. Thank you…found you from Pinterest.
I hope you have as much fun making them as we did. I would love to check out your blog if you can leave me the link! I would so love to see photos π
