I've seen lots of mummy tube crafts out there but for this guy I used some strips of cheesecloth. I had purchased a ton of it to make my ghostly Halloween costume this year! I had a lot of fun making it but there was so much cheese cloth left over I decided to put it to use some how. I came up with this mummy and wanted it to be a little different than all the rest and glowing eyes was a must for this simple project. A couple of holes and a t-light makes all the difference!

The image above was taken under some darker lighting to see the effect of this mummy's glowing eyes! Even though the process of making this little guy is probably self explanatory I put together a little tutorial anyway.

Materials:

• Toilet tube
• Acrylic paint
• Paint brush
• Piece of cheesecloth
• Hole puncher
• ​Flameless t-light
• Glue dots

Directions:

Step 1. Paint your toilet tube black, including the inside. Let it dry well.

Step 2. Punch two holes at the top using a hole puncher.

Step 3. Cut strips of cheesecloth and wrap it around your mummy. Secure with glue or a stapler.

Step 4. Use a glue dot on your flameless t-light to adhere it to the inside of your tube. In my photo below you can see how I'm using the side of the candle as the filler for the eyes!

Isn't he scary?!

''I put a spell on you!" These three witches are back and every Halloween we watch Winifred, Sarah and Mary as they terrorize Salem in the cult classic Disney movie Hocus Pocus, now you can print and craft your own Sanderson Sisters! I think it's safe to say that we all adore this movie around Halloween time, it's funny, witty and such great, silly fun... perfect for the spooky season. Bring the Sanderson sisters to life this year with my devilishly charming printables!

Get the kids involved with printmaking and they can produce many works of art with different variables. Take the image above and picture the background in soft pinks and reds with white birch trees instead of black and then adding little heart cutouts for leaves, this would make a fantastic Valentine's image. There's a ton of possibilities and you can check out how I made this watercolor print in the seasonal section of The Art Dream!

​I'd love to see how your images turned out!

Are you excited for Halloween? I feel like every year it gets to be a bigger and bigger thing, the magic of the season is something everyone looks forward to. I always love to take the time to make something handmade for Halloween, so here I've recycled some egg cartons n' made this little jack-o-lantern. I've seen lots of these on the internet, but since mine had so many holes I decided to papier mache it n' cover them up! It came out like a little piñata. See the tutorial in my seasonal section of The Art Dream.
