On the third night before Halloween I share with you Mummy jars.
Another project I saw on Pinterest... I have to admit this is one of my very favorite projects... I absolutely love them!
A friend invited me over for an afternoon to make these... and despite all the distractions (kids) we knocked out a ton of these in two hours.
sooooooooo easy!!! seriously. and so cheap.
i could have made 100 of them!
just old canning jars
or whatever you have on hand
and sterile medical gauze
that you can buy at walmart (in the pharmacy section)
and then you paint modge podge
all over the bottle
start at the top
and start wrapping
you'll need to put
modge podge between the layers of gauze
you only do one layer of gauze
but slightly overlap each layer
and then when its all how you like it
you paint a layer of modge podge on top of the whole thing really quick
and then glue on googly eyes with even more modge podged.
that's it.
easy peasy.
we liked the really really big googly eyes for the big bottles (i think the really big eyes come in a pack of 12)... but the other size works great too... these would be super cute with baby food jars too.
p.s. If my instructions don't make any sense... just google mummy jars and I'm sure there are more detailed tutorials out there!
p.p.s. outside I just put regular tealight candles in them... inside I'm using battery operated candles.
Oh, and they make fun neighbor gifts too... not the best picture... but you get the idea.
Happy Halloween!!!
