DIY 2x4 Mummies

With Halloween just around the corner, I wanted to share with you guys one of my favorite craft projects. These Spooky Mummies are a simple and easy way to add to any Halloween decor.


What you need
2x4 pieces (cut into any length)
white paint
cheese cloth
googly eyes
hot glue gun
brown marker

Step1:
 paint 2x4's completely white
(you don't want any wood showing)

Step2:
Cut cheese cloth in to long strips & just wrap, 
securing with hot glue if needed
(make sure to over lap) 

Step 3:
glue on eyes & then color with maker to make a dirty effect
 & your done!

These guys can be found on my patio with the ghosts!!!

 Stay Crafty,
