Another recycle Halloween decoration...




I wish I could remember the website I found these cute mummy votives but alas I can't but it is not an original idea of mine. These are old salsa, jelly and pickle jars. Once I saw this idea I kept these since I usually throw them away. Check outhere what this gal did with old jars! I used the flameless flicker candles from Walmart for the photo. I wish it were darker so you could really see how cute these are. I am actually giving most of them away. But they are fun and super easy and inexpensive to make. The internet is such a great tool for finding new ways of using things!

Really cute! Do you just wrap gauze bandages around the jar & glue on googly eyes?

yes, I meant to include the how to but ran out of time. I used double sided tape to start the wrap of gauze--I used about half a roll per jar. Then I used double sided tape at the end to finish it off. then glued the googly eyes. I got the gauze from the dollar store in the first aid area.

What is the saying you have on the jar?

Do you mean what do my tags say? They say: Here's a little "mummy" to keep you company on a scary night. Happy Halloween!
