Picture this: you walk into the bathroom and find a tiny mummy patiently holding rolls of toilet paper like ancient treasure.
With its bandaged body, big cartoon eyes, and pumpkin bucket, it looks like a character straight out of a spooky children’s tale.
The best part is that you don’t need to spend much time or money, just a few supplies, and your bathroom gets a touch of festive fun.
Materials Needed
- 1 small plastic or ceramic mummy figurine (about 18-20 inches tall)
- White gauze or fabric strips (2-3 yards)
- Googly eyes (2-3 inches wide)
- Plastic pumpkin bucket (medium, 8-10 inches diameter)
- Hot glue gun + glue sticks
- Scissors
- Optional: Small bat or Halloween figurine for extra detail
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Take your figurine and wrap it with white gauze or fabric strips, leaving some gaps for that classic mummy effect.
Step 2: Glue large googly eyes near the top of the head so your mummy has a friendly, funny look.
Step 3: Place a pumpkin bucket in its hands and secure it with glue or ties so it stays in place.
Step 4: Add your toilet paper rolls inside the bucket, stacking 1-2 at a time.
Step 5: If you’d like, top it off with a little bat or spooky figure on its head for extra character.
Tips:
You should use LED tealight candles inside the pumpkin bucket for a glowing effect at night.
