Want to make an easy, but inexpensive wooden spoon mummy craft for Halloween?
If you answered yes then read on…
So, I love crafting. There I said it. But crafting can be costly. I mean if you went to a craft store it can cost you a pretty penny. Am I right?

Therefore whenever possible, I pick up supplies at my local dollar store as they become available each new season. No reason I can’t craft for less money.
Plus, I am a big believer in crafts being easy to make, as well. A win-win in my book when they aren’t difficult to make and don’t cost much.
So, today’s new wooden spoon mummy craft is indeed cheap and also so easy to make.
Seriously all you need is a wooden spoon, paint, gauze, glue and some goggly eyes!
Sounds easy enough, right? Seriously, this craft took me under 10 minutes to make!
Then, let’s get started to make our wooden spoon mummy now…
Easy Wooden Spoon Mummy Dollar Store Craft
Materials needed for Wooden Spoon Mummy:

Instructions for Wooden Spoon Mummy:

We did some Halloween Wooden Spoons last year and they turned out great. This one is so much easier though. I might have Madison make it since she loves crafting as much as I do. Here’s to a beautiful weekend!
Janine says
