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.
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’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!
