Little Mummy Pumpkins

Two of our mummies were camera shy today. We included directions below for making your own mummy pumpkins at home!
------------------------------------------------
1. Start with a clean, dry, smallish pumpkin.
2. Using three full sheets of paper towels (attached), cut strips about 1.5 inches wide. Roll up the strips like rolls of gauze. Each pumpkin needs one strip.
3. Put two stripes of glue stick on opposite sides of the pumpkin about 1 inch from top to 1 inch from bottom.
4. Attach one end of the paper towel to the bottom of glue and roll out the strip around the pumpkin, moving the paper towel up and down as desired, and pressing it to the glue. (It looks best to keep some pumpkin showing)
5. Attach two large googly eyes with tacky glue and hold for about 30 seconds.
6. Let dry and display!
