The Making of "Mumford", our Halloween Mummy...

Once again, our scarecrow is made of trash. We stuffed second hand clothes with newspaper and grocery bags to make his infrastructure.

The core of his head is made of a hard recycled gallon sized water bottle covered in paper bags and tape.


Then comes the fun part...wrapping him with scraps of white fabric like chenille, lace, old curtains, canvas strips and a little bit of rolled gauze to finish him off.
Isn't he handsome?!

Then Willa, my daughter, and I decided to make a jar of paper mache and vintage fabric eyeballs to top off the creepy window scene.
