How to Make Easy Mummy Craft for Halloween!

Stapling card stock to toilet paper roll

Make the body!

Start by cutting the silver metallic card stock to the size of a recycled toilet paper roll.

Next, secure the card stock by wrapping it around the roll and securing it in the back with staples.

You should now have a shiny, metallic toilet paper roll.

Cutting white streamers into smaller pieces

Wrap it up Mummy Style!

Next, cut a 24-inch long white crepe paper streamer strip and then cut that strip in half.

Staple the end of the strip to the bottom of the back of the roll.

Wrap the strip around the body of the mummy, leaving gaps for your metallic paper to shine through and give it that “mummy” look!

Once you reach the top of the roll, staple the end to secure.

Time for Eyes and Mouth!

Now let’s make the eyes for your mummy!

Grab your penny and trace it on the black construction paper. Cut out the eyes and set them aside.

Next, take the green and yellow construction and, using a hole punch, make the pupils for the mummy.

Take the pupils and affix them to the center of the previously cut eyes with glue. Then, take a black marker and make a dot in the center of the pupil.

Finally, let’s make the mouth for the mummy! With the same black marker, draw a line with hash marks to make it look like the mummy’s mouth is sewn shut.

Your mummy is now complete and ready for play!
