Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Your Mummies
1. Gather Your Supplies
To get started, grab those empty toilet paper tubes that have been piling up—no need to throw them out! With just a few simple materials, you’ll transform these into mummies that look good enough to scare… and snack on.
2. Unwrap the Magic
Begin by removing any leftover toilet paper from your tubes (you know, the stuff that always clings to the roll!). Next, cut two pieces of white crepe paper to cover each end of the tube.
3. Hide the Treats
Tape one end of the crepe paper over one side of the tube to seal it shut. Then, sneak a handful of Welch’s Halloween Fruit Snacks inside. These spooky snacks are the perfect surprise, featuring shapes like bats, witches, ghosts, and haunted castles. Your little monsters will love it!
4. Wrap It Up
Once you’ve filled your tube with fruit snacks, seal the other end with another piece of crepe paper.
Now, it’s time to wrap the mummy! Take about 24″-36″ of crepe paper, fold it in half, and start wrapping it around the tube like you’re mummifying an ancient relic.
Overlap as you go for that authentic, bandaged look.
5. Add Googly Eyes
Every mummy needs eyes to keep watch over its treasures! Glue two googly eyes to the front of your tube, giving your mummy that classic spooky-cute look.
The fruit snacks themselves are fun shapes which include a Bat, Witch, Ghost, Haunted Castle, and a Jack-O-Lantern.
