Easy DIY Mummy Pumpkin

Happy Fall City Farmhouse Friends!

 Emily here from The Wicker House, and I have a fun little Halloween project to share with you.

I got so excited when I walked into my local grocery store and found a huge pile of pumpkins.

Now, I normally wait until we go to a pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins, but I just couldn’t resist, so I grabbed the prettiest one and brought it home with me.

I love white pumpkins.

But I also wanted to decorate it, so I decided to keep it white, and turn it into a mummy. This project is so easy, your children & grandchildren will love it!!

I went to a craft store and picked up some large googly eyes. I already had the muslin fabric on hand.

 Taking a pair of scissors, I made a small cut into the muslin. I then ripped it at the cut to create a long fabric strip. I made 4 strips each about 3 feet long.

The reason why I ripped the fabric rather than cut it, was so that I could get a frayed look on the edges.

I used my hot glue gun to attached the googly eyes onto the pumpkin. I then glued on the muslin strips, letting it overlap the eyes a bit.

As you can see, I didn’t use a whole lot of the muslin fabric.  I liked that there is still a lot of pumpkin showing.  I think if you wrap the pumpkin with too much muslin, then the pumpkin starts to become unrecognizable.

 I have placed my cute mummy pumpkin on the bench in our entryway.

 It brought in just a small touch of Halloween for now.

I’ll wait a few more weeks before I get out all of our other Halloween decorations.

My boy’s get so excited for that.

Thanks City Farmhouse for having me over today!
