You will be covering an entire door for this project. The mummy door decoration project is fairly easy to do but takes a bit of time to finish.
The longest part of the project are the criss cross mummy wrap sections, but I’ll show you a few tips to make this easier.
To make the mummy door decoration, you will need the following supplies: 
- 3 sheets of black poster board
- 1 sheet of yellow poster board
- 4 rolls of white crepe paper streamers
- 1 roll of Scotch invisible tape
- Blue Tack
I started by covering my whole door with the black poster board (be sure to save one strip of it for the eyes.)
When I began the project I used tape, but then decided that Blue Tack works better.
This product holds the weight of the poster board up better and will work best if you plan to leave it up for quite some time.
Use a lunch sized plate for the yellow eyeballs and a glass for the black pupils, then trace the eyes and cut them out.
Place the eyeballs with Blue Tack about 1/3 down from the top of the door. Start to criss cross the white steamers around the eyes.
Arrange the white streamers so that the eyes show fairly well in the mummy design.
Continue covering the door with the streamers. Use the Scotch tape to fasten them to the door. I found this worked best to work with the door open.
This allows you to wrap the streamers around the inside and outside of the door with ease. If you do it with the door closed, the inside door jamb gets in the way.
Also, be sure not to do what I did! I started by walking back and forth to a table for each streamer. Let’s just say I got a bit of exercise before I figured out the short cut of cutting dozens of streamers and putting them on my lap with the tape near by.
I love my exercise but not when I am making mummy projects!
What a fun project this mummy door decoration is! Your Halloween guest will find it so much fun and it was so budget friendly.
I was lucky enough to get all of my supplies from the local Dollar Store, so it only cost me $3.50.
Tada! Here is my mummy in all his spooky glory!
