Halloween Mummy

1. Paint both the top and bottom of the small wooden plaque with the black paint. Set aside to dry.

2. After the wooden plaque is dry drill two holes in the center of the plaque about 1-inch to 1-1/2 inches apart with the drill and the 3/8-inch drill bit.

3. Sand a little bit of the paint off of the edges of the plaque with a small piece of sandpaper.

4. Brush on the antiquing gel and then quickly wipe the gel away leaving a small amount in and around the sanded edges of the plaque.

1. Hot glue the 1/2-inch skewers at the feet of the body into the stand and hold the body straight while waiting for the glue to set up (figure M).

2. Clip a little hole in the neck area of the body with scissors and then liberally fill the hole with hot glue. Insert the bamboo skewer of the face, into the body and hold in place while the glue sets up.

3. Bend and position the arms and fingers into a pleasing position. Remember he is a Mummy and should be spooky!!!

5. When the gauze is dry cut it into 2-1/2-inch strips and then wrap the face, body, arms and hands loosely (figure N). Attach the ends with hot glue and allow some ends to hang from the arms for a scary effect (figure O)!!

6. Sign the bottom of the Halloween mummy and you're done!!!
