There are 48 days until Halloween.
Putting a unique spin on the traditional spooky season decorations, an employee from Michaels craft store joined Denver7's weekend morning team Saturday to demonstrate how to create "mummy pumpkins."
What You’ll Need:
- Craft pumpkin of your choice – Michaels has hundreds of options to choose from
- Cheesecloth
- Craft eyes
- Black paint
- Modge Podge
- Foam brush
- Glitter spiders
Project Demo Steps:
- Once you’ve picked the perfect pumpkin, it's time to start crafting.
- We chose to paint our pumpkin black.
- Next, we took the roll of cheese cloth and cut it down the middle, then cut it into strips.
- Once you have your strips you will cover your pumpkin in Modge Podge.
- Next, take your strips of cheese cloth and start draping them across your pumpkin.
- You will add multiple layers to mummify your pumpkin. Be sure to leave room for the eyes and the mouth.
- Once you are done with the cheese cloth, you will add your crafting eyes to your pumpkin.
- We also chose to add glittery spiders for an extra spooky twist.
