Rustic Wooden Mummies That Add Charm to Your Halloween Decor

Rustic Wooden Mummies That Add Charm to Your Halloween Decor
Think of these wooden mummies as Halloween’s version of scarecrows with simple, rustic, and full of character.

All you need is some leftover wood, a bit of fabric (burlap or cotton works best), and paint for the eyes.

Each block turns into its own little mummy, and no two will look the same.

They’re a budget-friendly craft you can do in under an hour, yet they add so much charm to your holiday display.

Plus, kids will love giving each one a different personality, and you’ll love how easy they are to create.

Materials Needed

  • 2-3 wooden blocks or scrap planks (any size, 10-18 inches tall works well)
  • Strips of fabric, gauze, or burlap (1-2 yards depending on size)
  • White and black acrylic paint
  • Small wood rounds or cardboard circles for eyes
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Scissors

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Sand your wooden blocks to remove rough edges. You don’t need them perfectly smooth, a little texture adds to the rustic mummy look.

Step 2: Cut strips of fabric and lightly stain or smudge them with brown/black paint to give an aged effect.

Step 3: Wrap the strips around each wooden block, securing the ends with hot glue.

Step 4: Paint two large white circles on wood rounds or cardboard, add black pupils, and glue them near the top of the block for big googly eyes.

Step 5: Prop them against a wall, add them to your porch display, or group a few together for a mummy family effect.

Tips:

If you want a spooky twist, insert a small battery-operated tea light behind the fabric so the mummies glow at night.
