How to Turn Cardboard Tubes into Mini Mummies

How to Turn Cardboard Tubes into Mini MummiesPicture a group of tiny mummies marching out of your recycling bin, all wrapped up and ready for spooky season fun.

These little characters are so easy to create that each one can have its own personality, wrap some neatly, wrap others in a messier style, and let their googly eyes peek out in funny ways.

They’re the kind of project that makes kids giggle while also giving you a creative way to reuse those cardboard rolls.

Materials Needed

  • 4-6 empty toilet paper rolls (standard size, about 4” tall)
  • 1 ball of white string, twine, or yarn (approx. 30-40 ft.)
  • 8-12 medium googly eyes (2 per mummy)
  • Hot glue gun or craft glue
  • Scissors

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Gather your empty toilet paper rolls and make sure they’re clean and free of leftover paper.

Step 2: Take a length of string or yarn and begin wrapping it around the roll. Then cross the layers over each other to mimic mummy bandages.

Step 3: Keep wrapping until most of the roll is covered, leaving a few small gaps where the cardboard peeks through for texture.

Step 4: Secure the end of the string with a dot of glue on the back side.

Step 5: Glue two googly eyes on the front, nestled between the bandages so they peek out.

Step 6: Repeat with your other rolls until you’ve created a whole crew of mini mummies.

Tips:

If you want to use them as treat holders, fill the rolls with wrapped candy before wrapping them up. They’ll be like little mummy surprise tubes!
