DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Halloween Mummy Craft
This is a fun and simple color, cut and paste paper craft that uses a toilet paper roll as a base to give this mummy a three dimensional effect.
Materials:
- toilet paper roll,
- some toilet paper (*grin*),
- a printer,
- paper,
- scissors,
- glue,
- something to colour with.
Instructions:
- Print out the craft template of choice.
- Colour pieces, as necessary.
- Cut out the pieces. This step may require adult assistance.
- Take a piece of toilet paper about three squares
long. Lie it on the table and fold or scrunch it up so that it's still three squares
long, but makes a skinny rope (banadage).
- Glue the bandage around the toilet paper roll.
- Make two or three more of these banadages to cover the roll completely.
- You can "age" your bandages by dipping the toilet paper into some cold tea (just dip the corner in a bowl of tea and it will wick it up the bandage).
- Let your dipped bandages dry before wrapping your mummy.
- Glue the head, arms and legs onto the mummy to complete.
Templates:
- After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
- If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
• In most browsers: Print → More settings → Margins → Minimum
• Or use Page Setup / Printer Setup in your printer dialog
