Mummified Mason Jars

This DIY Halloween Decor Project is Adorably Festive and Easy to Make

DIY Halloween decor has never been easier thanks to this mummified jar project. For those who need a couple more scary pieces around the house or office to elevate the spooky ambiance a little more, this is the perfect solution. All that is needed are some jars (they don't even have to be mason jars), a few rolls of gauze, tape, scissors and craft googly eyes.

Created by Sarah Lipoff of PopSugar, the DIY Halloween decor is as easy as wrapping the gauze around the jars, fastening the googly eyes on and calling it a day. These fun mummified jars can hold everything from candles to candy and even more decorations. Children will love this DIY Halloween decor and not find it too frightening.
