Materials

  • 12 inch. Foam wreath base
  • Fiberfill
  • Contact Paper
  • 6 yds. Gauze
  • 4 inch Googly eyes
  • Glue use a strong tacky glue like Beacon 3-in-1, or use a low-temperature glue gun
  • ribbon for hanging

Instructions

  • Create the Backing – Cover the back of the wreath with contact paper to keep the filling from slipping out. (You can also use strips of clear or white tape as an alternative.)
  • Form the Head – Place fiberfill in the center of the wreath so it puffs out, creating the mummy’s “face.”
  • Add Ribbon – Make a loop with ribbon and attach it to the wreath for easy hanging.
  • Wrap the Wreath – Use most of the gauze to wrap around the wreath and over the fiberfill, shaping the mummy’s head and body
  • Add the Eyes – Glue large googly eyes onto the wreath, letting them peek through the gauze.
  • Finishing Touches – Wrap the remaining gauze around the wreath at different angles. Partially cover the tops of the eyes and leave a few loose strips hanging, giving the wreath an authentic “mummy unwrapping” effect.
