Supplies Needed To Make Mummy Ghost
Some links below are affiliate links.
- Foam Head
- Cheese Cloth (I used 4 packages)
- Dark Brown Craft Paint
- Brown Tim Holtz Distress Ink
- Fishing Line
- Threaded Hook
- Scissors
- Paint Brush
Start by wrapping one cheese cloth package around the foam head.
Take a second cheese cloth package and tie around the neck, similar to a cape.
Tie one corner of the other two cheese cloth pieces to each side of your first knot.
Start with dark brown craft paint and shade the head as shown in the image below.
Then start rubbing various brown inks over the cheese cloth surface to add some age to your mummy ghost.
Continue rubbing on brown ink until you are happy with your mummy ghost. Add a threaded hook to the top of the head and hang from your porch using fishing line. It will appear to be floating and scare anyone that comes up!
Tie up the “arms” of the ghost with fishing line as well. The arms are those cheese cloth pieces that you tied on both sides of the ghost.
Trim the bottom with scissors to give a ragged edge. I just cut into the cloth and pulled in a few places.
