Crochet Mummy Mason Jar
I finished this cute mummy mason jar just in time for Halloween! I had made something similar a few years ago using burlap, and I wanted to create a crocheted version.
Here it is… This little jar is a quick Halloween project that you can complete in one evening.

Attaching the Bandages to the Mummy
Starting with the thicker bandages, whip-stitch the end of the bandage to any part of the frame (column, top or bottom), wrap the bandage around the jar, weaving under or over the columns. Making sure to not cover the mummy’s eyes. Sew the other end to another part of the frame. Then, weave in the ends.
Continue wrapping the mummy in all the bandages in the same fashion.
For an extra spooky touch, glue a plastic spider to your mummy.
I used this little guy as a candle holder, by inserting an LED tea light into the jar. Fill the jar up with Halloween candy and it could be a great gift for teachers or a nice neighbor.
I hope you have a great time creating this little guy and a spooktacular Halloween!
