Halloween Challenge Day 3 : DIY Mummy Flower Vase
October 3, 2013
This is quick and simple DIY craft to spruce up the house for Halloween. I had everything I needed on hand and you can do it not just with a flower vase but with other jars around the house. Mason jars or even containers on the kitchen counter would work.
What you need
Vase, plastic or glass
Gaze I used two types, the thin stuff and a thick roll
Craft eyes
hot glue gun
Step one start wrapping the vase with the think gaze covering it from top to bottom. You can tie the end to part of the wrapped gaze or glue it but it’s easier to tie.
Start to wrap the vase with the thicker gaze, only change it’s angle so it looks more like a mummy wrapping. Criss cross it and spread it around to get the effect you want.
When you are finished, either tie or glue in place. Glue on your craft eyes and then set your flowers inside.
An easy but fun project to spruce up the house for Halloween! Do you do any crafts for Halloween?

That is so cute!!! It is amazing what creativity and just a few items can do. I am not so good at thinking out of the box but I love this. Seems fairly simple too!

This is such a cute idea. I am going to start making my own Halloween decorations because I am spending way too much on them at the store.

This is such a cute idea and it costs so little to make. I'm going to start making my own Halloween decorations because I spend way too much money on them at the store.

Ohmygosh! That is so cute. When I saw the supplies, I wasn't 100% sold that it would turn out so well… but the final photo?! Perfect! I'd love to add some blood to the mummy and fill the vase with black flowers. You just gave me a great idea! 🙂

I wanted to put black flowers in this but my youngest is expressing dislikes for all the "dark" halloween stuff. The scary stuff, I've have to really change this challenge around

That is too cute! This I can do for Halloween. We don't really do much craft at my house. I find it so much easier to buy things but I'm starting to get into making a bit more stuff with the kids. Thanks for this one, this is perfect for Halloween.
