How to Turn Your Front Door Into a Spooky Mummy

How to Turn Your Front Door Into a Spooky MummyImagine stepping up to a house and realizing the door itself is alive, wrapped in gauzy bandages, wide eyes peeking out from the layers, and bats flying across its surface.

That’s the magic of a mummy door. It’s a simple transformation but one that instantly makes your home feel like part of a Halloween story.

You don’t need elaborate decorations, just some wrapping, a little imagination, and suddenly your entrance feels like it belongs to a haunted tomb.

Materials Needed

  • 1-2 rolls of white crepe paper streamers or gauze wrap (total length 200-250 ft.)
  • Large black and white construction paper sheets (for the eyes, about 8”-10” circles)
  • Scissors
  • Clear tape or painter’s tape (safe for doors)
  • Optional: Black paper bats or spiders for extra decoration

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Clean the surface of your door so tape sticks easily without peeling off. Measure if needed, but freehand works fine too.

Step 2: Cut strips of crepe paper or gauze and begin taping them diagonally across the door, crisscrossing to mimic mummy wrappings.

Step 3: Leave a gap near the top of the door for the eyes to peek out. Then tape on two large circles white for the base and black for the pupils.

Step 4: Continue layering more wrappings, making sure the eyes are still visible. Don’t worry if the strips overlap unevenly as it adds character!

Step 5: Add finishing touches with black paper bats or spiders, taping them on top of the mummy wrap for extra creepiness.

Step 6: Step back and admire your mummy door, it’s ready to greet trick-or-treaters in style!
