Halloween Mummy Pencil Holder - "Oh no! The spider is getting to me..."

Remember the yarn wrapped recycle pencil holder I made? I used the same concept to make this mummy pencil holder. Instead of yarn, this time I wrap the pencil holder with torn white fabric strips after inspired by this post with the googly eyes.

This mummify pencil holder is easy to make and kids can help in tearing the fabric into strips and wrapping it up. You can always adapt this method to wrap around a clean used food can or container. Or, turn it into napkin or serviette holder, or even utensil holder during the Halloween dinner with friend and family. And, may be as treats holder for Halloween lollypops, cake pops, stick bites etc….

Make a quick and easy Mummy Holder with an irritating spider climbing on it……

Put some glue at the back of the googly eyes and stick them on the black backing paper.

Snip the edge of the white fabric, about 1″ apart. Tear the strips of mummy wrapping fabric from your white fabrics.
About 3-4 strips of 1/2 yard length each should be sufficient.

Dot some glue at the bottom of the pencil holder, bond the strip end to it and wrap the mummy all the way up.
