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.

How to Make Mummy Votive Jars
-
Starting at top of mason jar, wrap gauze around and tuck end under another row of gauze.
-
Glue goggly eyes onto gauze (tucking eyes into gauze if you like).
-
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.

Hi Lauren – they don’t have lids attached – I just pop the battery operated light in and out.
