Here's How You Can Transform Ordinary Mason Jars Into Mummies For Halloween

Spooky season is officially upon us, making it a great time to decorate your home for Halloween. There are many creepy-cute Halloween decor ideas that aren't just black and orange, and this project is an adorable one to add to the list! Using some gauze, googly eyes, a mason jar, a fake tea light, and hot glue, you can transform a plain jar into a mummy perfect for your Halloween decor. Because who doesn't love a good spooky DIY, especially when you don't need to break the bank to get what you need?

This project is simple and fun to make, and you can involve the entire family (maybe even becoming your new Halloween tradition)! Simply take a roll of gauze, and cut it to various lengths. Then, using hot glue, attach the gauze to the mason jar. Finally, add some googly eyes and a fake tea light. Your new creation is now ready to be displayed!

Making this project your own is easy with some simple adjustments! Like this spooky jar upcycle, which is the mystical Halloween decor you've been looking for, you can use leftover jars to create this design as well! Simply clean out any mason jar from the kitchen — like a nut butter jar. If you choose to use a plastic container, be careful when it comes to the hot glue, which can melt the plastic. Collect a variety of different sized jars to create many different sized mummies.

You can also use alternatives to the gauze. Try white tape, masking tape, or washi tape. If the tape is thick, you can cut it into different size strips. Also, make sure you layer the tape as you go, and let the tape stick to itself at times to add texture to the design. For this design, add your googly eyes before taping if you'd like to hide the eyes among its wrappings. Decorating your home for Halloween is a fun October activity, and this Halloween mummy craft is certainly one to add to the list! Love these jar mummies?
