Make a Mason Jar Mummy Lantern

Starting wrapping your strips at the rim of your Mason jar working down. Pressing the fabric down onto the jar, add a little more mod podge if needed to make it stick.

Continue wrapping leaving a few small gaps here and there. Some areas will have thicker layers of fabric, but that’s ok.

    Linda, this is one of the cutest projects ever! Easy to make, but so adorable! Wouldn’t this be a great Halloween party craft project? Not only would the kids love to play in the Mod Podge, they would have a Mummy lantern to take home with them! I would love a few to sit in the windows during Halloween!
