Halloween Mummy Votives – Perfect Halloween Crafts

September 10, 2012  Halloween | My Projects

Need a simple Halloween craft that’s fun for the whole family? These mummy votives are so cute and a cinch to make. I am sharing how to make these adorable mummy votives including a supply list.

These mummies are working overtime and talk about a cinch.

Supplies

Mason Jars (or any glass jar) I used 16 oz jars

Gauze

Votive Candles or Flameless Votive Candles

Googly Eyes

Glue

How to Make Mummy Votive Jars

  1. Starting at top of mason jar, wrap gauze around and tuck end under another row of gauze.

  2. Glue goggly eyes onto gauze (tucking eyes into gauze if you like).

  3. Add votive candle, light and watch your mummies glow!

I confess that I’ve really come undone over these cuties.

These mummies would also make great treat jars. Just fill with your favorite candy and hand out to trick-or-treaters.

Speaking of mummies …

Why don’t mummies take vacations? They’re afraid they’ll relax and unwind.
