Mummy

Print out the template on heavy cardstock.

We have included a full color template as well as a black and white template. Print the one that works better for your printing needs.

Cut out each part of the template.

Use the template to trace the parts onto stiff felt, craft foam, or cardstock.

Cut out the parts.

You will need to cut out multiple strips of white for your Mummy. These strips can vary in width depending on the look you want to achieve.

Use glue to assemble the Mummy with the strips in any arrangement you prefer, leaving a small area for the eyes. The strips should go passed the edge of the oval. We will trim and glue the edges in the next step.

Regular Elmers glue and Tacky glue both work well, but you will need to give the Mummy time to dry overnight before adding the circuit. Hot glue also works well and dries fast so you can build the circuit right away.

If your strips hang over the edge of the oval by more than an inch you should trim the excess material back so you only have about an inch hanging over the sides of the oval.

Flip the Mummy over and wrap each strip around to the back. Secure each strip in place with glue.

Use a safety pin or a push pin to poke four holes (two for each LED) through the felt for the LED legs to go through.

Add the LEDs by pushing the legs through the holes.

Note! Make sure the longer Positive (+) legs are in the middle of the project when you put the legs through the holes.

Bend the longer (Positive) LEDs legs toward the middle. They will overlap and that is ok.

Bend the shorter (Negative) LED legs down towards the bottom.

Place a piece of Maker Tape UNDERNEATH each LED leg.

Place another piece of Maker Tape OVER THE TOP of the LED legs so the LED legs have Maker Tape under and on top of them.

Two layers of Maker Tape create a "tape sandwich" with the LED legs in the middle. Since the felt isn't as flat as paper this will help create a better electrical connection.

Use a piece of Maker Tape to connect the two outside (Negative) pathways.

Make a loop of tape (sticky side out) using a short piece of Maker Tape, and stick it atop the middle of the tape pathway connecting the two longer (Negative) pathways.

Once your Tape Loop is in place you can add the Battery to it.

Make sure the Positive side of the Battery is facing upwards, with the Negative side stuck down to the tape.

Add Maker Tape to connect the top (Positive) side of the battery to the Positive LED legs path above.

Your Halloween Mummy craft is assembled and ready to show off to other!
