How to Turn Your Front Yard Tree Into a Giant Mummy

How to Turn Your Front Yard Tree Into a Giant MummyEvery tree has a story to tell, but on Halloween, it can also wear a costume.

With just a bit of fabric and glowing lights, you can dress up your tree as a friendly mummy peeking at trick-or-treaters.

The wrappings twist around the trunk like ancient bandages, and the glowing string lights bring it to life once the sun sets.

Moreover, the googly eyes add just the right amount of personality, making it feel as if your backyard has a new, playful guardian for the season.

Materials Needed

  • 1 large tree (any sturdy trunk works)
  • 10-15 yards of white fabric strips, gauze, or old sheets
  • 1 set of large plastic googly eyes (or DIY eyes from cardboard)
  • 1-2 strings of white or orange outdoor fairy lights
  • Clips, tape, or push pins

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Pick the tree in your yard you want to mummify. A wide trunk works best for visibility.

Step 2: Start wrapping the fabric or gauze around the trunk, leaving some uneven gaps to make it look authentic.

Step 3: Wrap string lights over the fabric, weaving them in and out to add glowing highlights.

Step 4: Attach large googly eyes at the center so your mummy has a playful face.

Step 5: Step back, plug in the lights, and watch your yard transform into a spooky scene that glows at night.

Tips:

If you don’t have large googly eyes, cut circles out of cardboard, paint them white, and add black centers. They’ll look just as fun!
