{Somewhere in the Middle} Mummy Mason Jars

I want to introduce you to another Contributor today: Rebekah at Somewhere in the Middle.  I think she was a little worried when I asked for Halloween projects this month (to keep with October Spooktacular), but she totally knocked it out of the park!  I love these!  I am adding them to our Halloween Countdown Calendar so I can do them with my boys.  So, without further adieu…

Mummy Jars

Please tell me that I’m not the only one living in disbelief that we’re already halfway through October. I could have sworn that just last week was the start of summer break! Although I do have to say, Texans pretty much rejoice at the arrival of October every year, so I can’t complain too much. My girls and I whipped out these adorable mummy jars in record time; they only take about ten minutes to complete from start to finish.

Mummy Jar Supplies

SUPPLY LIST
Mason Jars
Athletic Tape
Googly Eyes

Start by sticking (or gluing) your eyes on the jar. Mummy Jars - add eyes

Then just randomly wrap the tape around the jar until it looks like a mummy (making sure not to cover the eyes up).

Mummy Jars - wrap

And that’s it! Make as many as you want. They’d make adorable treat jars at a party or luminaries lining your walkway or porch! Or, like my girls, you can carry them around in your arms and talk to them like they’re your baby and best friend all “wrapped up” in one. 😉

Eep.  Too awesome, am I right?!  And so easy!  I wanna use them as luminaries… The boys can help and I still get something functional and cute, rather than something that hangs on our “masterpiece wall” for week (or six months…)  Now go check out all the fun Rebekah’s got going on over at Somewhere in the Middle!

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
