And a surprisingly happy kid. I was worried that she’s be disappointed, but she was fine missing out on the grossness. We always say she’s like my brother, and he always used to make lovely gagging noises during pumpkin carving, so maybe I’ve discovered another similarity.

Thanks for stopping by! I’m a fan of the felt, and made a few more bats to place around the house. The paper towels weren’t all that stretchy and the texture makes it look a little less mummy-ish, I’m afraid. It’s possible that your paper towels will work much better than mine, though. If you try them, let me know!

Pie pumpkins and smaller pumpkins are perfect for those. With the mummy, we didn’t even have to use pins, just wrap it tight and tuck it in. Happy Halloween!

That’s funny about the mummy not working with toilet paper. I see why you tried it – thinking about it, I can see how it failed! I wonder if cut strips of paper towels would work – be stretchier, stronger than toilet paper but cheaper than gauze?
