    What Can I Use to Wrap My Paper Mummies?

    Ready to wrap your plates? Here's what you can use as bandages on your craft:

    • White paper cut into strips
    • Thin masking tape
    • Yarn
    • Toilet paper (for a soft, fuzzy mummy)
    • Cheesecloth (for extra spookiness!)

    Once you're done wrapping your plate, give it one more finishing touch by adding some wrinkles and folds to the paper or cloth. Now you have your own mummy!

    The Creepier, The Better

    This paper plate mummy craft is an exciting family activity. You can all create your personalized mummies and put them together to build your own Gibdo (group).

    The spookier the mummy, the better the Halloween vibes. Use these ideas to add chills to your paper plate mummies:

    Throw in some googly eyes of various sizes to give it that eerie feeling, like the mummies are keeping an eye on you! If you're out of wiggly eyes, use cotton balls and a black marker to draw eyes.

    A mouth, a few teeth, and maybe some bloodstains? Why not? Get creative and give your Halloween mummy craft that eerie look with red paint.

    Create a spine-chilling scene with spider webs, bats, and a moon.

    • Punch holes in the top of your mummies with a hole punch and tie ribbons to make a garland.
    • Write an invitation on the back of the paper plate and give it to your friends.
    • Make large quantities of these mummies and hang them around your house for a perfect Halloween vibe.
    • Put a few paper mummies in a gift basket, along with some other Halloween goodies like candies and chocolates, as a special surprise for your close ones.
