Think of these bottles as mummies just waking up after centuries in a pyramid, ready to join your Halloween party.

Their peeking eyes and messy wraps give them so much personality, it’s almost like each one tells its own story.

You can place them in a row on your mantle, let them guard the snack table, or use them as candle holders (with LED candles inside for safety).

They’ll catch everyone’s eye and are guaranteed to spark conversation.

Materials Needed

• 3 empty glass bottles (wine or soda bottles work great)
• 1-2 rolls of white gauze or medical bandages
• 6 large googly eyes (2 per bottle)
• Hot glue gun or craft glue
• Plastic toy spiders (optional, 6-8 pieces)
• Scissors

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Clean and dry the bottles thoroughly. Then remove labels if possible for a smooth surface.

Step 2: Wrap gauze or bandages around each bottle, overlapping loosely to create a mummy wrap effect. Then leave small gaps where the eyes will peek out.

Step 3: Secure the ends of the gauze with a dab of hot glue to prevent unraveling.

Step 4: Attach two googly eyes to each bottle in the open gap you left, pressing firmly until they stick.

Step 5: For extra Halloween flair, glue small plastic spiders onto the wraps so it looks like your mummies brought some creepy crawlies with them.

Step 6: Arrange your mummy bottles together as a trio or scatter them throughout your Halloween setup for a fun, coordinated look.

Tips:

If you want a glow effect, place LED tea lights or fairy lights inside clear bottles before wrapping, they’ll light up like glowing mummies at night.
