Paper Plate Mummy Craft
Let’s get wrapped up with our Paper Plate Mummy Craft today! Wrapped in strips of paper, this is a simple Halloween craft for kids of all ages. It’s an especially great toddler craft, as all you need to do is rip strips of paper and glue across the paper plate.
Are mummies fun? I don’t know about most mummies. Most mummies seem rather serious and brooding, actually. These paper plate mummies are definitely fun, though. You can make your mummies in the colors of your choice, like green or purple, or make your mummy black. Then rip strips of white paper and glue across to wrap it up.
Halloween Paper Plate Mummy Craft
To make our paper plate mummy craft you will need paper plates, acrylic paint in your colors of choice, paper in white, as well as red, black, or whatever eye color you prefer, circle paper punches in 2”, 1.5”, and ⅝”, along with a black marker, scissors, and a glue stick.
Paper Strip Mummy Craft Supplies Needed
- Paper plates
- Acrylic paint – your choice of colors
- Paper – white, red, black, or your eye color of choice
- Circle paper punches – 2”, 1.5”, ⅝”
- Black marker
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Mummy Paper Plate Craft Step by Step Directions
Start by painting a paper plate.
Paint your paper plate in any color you think a mummy should be. We chose green, purple, and of course black for ours. All great choices. Let the paint dry completely.
While the paint is drying, make the eyes by punching a 2” circle out of white paper, 1.5” circle from another color of paper, and a ⅝” pupil from another color. Again, any colors you want your mummy’s eyes to be.
Glue the eyes together. Then, when the paint is completely dry, glue the eyes in place.
Use a black marker to draw some sort of a large, simple mouth for the mummy. It doesn’t need to be anything exciting, as most of it will get covered.
Now, rip strips of white paper.
Glue the paper strips across the paper plate mummy.
Continue gluing the paper strips until your mummy is all wrapped up.
