Imagine your guests reaching for a drink and being greeted by a tiny mummy staring back at them.
That’s the charm of this project asit takes something as simple as a juice box and gives it a whole new personality.
Wrapped neatly in white strips and finished with big cartoonish eyes, each one looks like it’s ready to march off the table.
They’re whimsical, budget-friendly, and ridiculously easy to make, making them the perfect last-minute party prep idea that still feels unforgettable.
Materials Needed
- Juice boxes (apple, orange, or any flavor)
- White medical tape, gauze, or masking tape (1 roll per 10 boxes)
- Googly eyes (1 pair per juice box)
- Hot glue gun or craft glue
- Scissors
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Begin by removing any straws from the juice boxes and setting them aside. Make sure the cartons are clean and dry on the outside.
Step 2: Wrap each juice box in strips of gauze or tape, overlapping slightly for a wrapped mummy look.
You should leave small gaps so the box underneath peeks through, adding texture.
Step 3: Glue two googly eyes onto the front where you want the mummy’s face to peek out.
Step 4: Reattach the straws or replace them with fun, bendy straws to complete the look.
Step 5: Line them up on your party table and watch the kids rush for their spooky sips!
Tips:
For an eco-friendly twist, you can use strips of old white fabric instead of tape. If you want an extra scare factor, draw tiny fangs or a crooked smile under the eyes.
