I love pumpkins! In fact I love pumpkins way more than I like Halloween. And I was so excited to get my October Martha Stewart to see what kind of pumpkin ideas she had this year. This one was by far my favorite...and it's not even a pumpkin. A mummy gourd.
And since I saw this right before we took a family trip to the Bate's Nut Farm for pumpkins, I made sure to pick out a gourd too!
My mom came up with this great idea for the eyes - just a small blob of wall patch/putty rolled into a ball with a black headed pin stuck through it. Then all you need is a roll of white crepe paper streamers and you're ready to mummify.
I think he is pretty awesome. Although Martha's mummy wrapping looks better. If I had free time I would probably re-do the wrapping. But I don't. So it's perfect!
