Take the circle head piece and glue the eyes onto the black band area. This instantly gives your mummy some personality.
Glue the circle head on top of the rectangle body piece. Now your mummy is starting to take shape!
Next, take the rectangular arm pieces. Glue one arm on each side of the body. Let them stick out so your mummy can wave or reach for Halloween treats.
After the arms, grab the two rectangular leg pieces and glue one to each side of the bottom of the body. You can angle them so your mummy looks like it’s walking or standing still.
Once done, take the small rectangle head strips and glue them across the circle head. Layer them to give it that classic mummy-wrapped look.
