DIY Mummy Lanterns That Bring a Spooky Glow

DIY Mummy Lanterns That Bring a Spooky GlowImagine tiny mummies keeping watch on your windowsill, their glowing eyes peeking out from under gauze wrappings. That’s exactly the charm of these DIY lanterns.

With just a few supplies, you can transform plain glass jars into miniature guardians of Halloween night.

Moreover, kids will love helping add the googly eyes, and you’ll love how quickly they come together.

They’re budget-friendly, reusable year after year, and give your space that playful, glowing touch that makes Halloween feel extra special.

Materials Needed

  • Glass jars (mason jars or any recycled jars)
  • White gauze or medical bandages (1-2 yards per jar)
  • Googly eyes (1 pair per jar)
  • Hot glue or craft glue
  • Battery-operated tealight candles (safer than real candles)

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Clean your jars and dry them completely to make sure the gauze sticks well.

Step 2: Wrap each jar with gauze, overlapping slightly to create a layered, wrapped-up look. Then secure the ends with a bit of glue.

Step 3: Glue two googly eyes near the top of the jar so they peek out between the layers.

Step 4: Place a battery-operated tealight inside and watch your mummies come to life with a flickering glow.

Tips:

If you want a spookier effect, use colored LED candles such as green or purple light makes the mummies look extra eerie at night.
