1Prepare some craft sticks.

You will need four craft sticks to make a mummy.

2Create the mummy's head.

Create the mummy's head by cutting out an oval or rectangular shape from a piece of cardboard or thick cardstock.

Glue the shape onto one of the craft sticks to create the mummy's head and body.

3Make a torso.

As an optional step, you can make the mummy's torso a little bit wider so that it looks less like a stick figure. Simply cut out a rectangle or a trapezoid from cardboard or thick cardstock to create a torso. The shape should be tall enough to cover most of the craft stick body.

Glue this paper torso onto the craft stick body, about a half-inch below the head.

4Add arms and legs.

Place one craft stick in a horizontal position below the head to create a pair of arms. Place a pair of craft sticks at the base of the body to make a pair of legs.

You can move the arms and legs around to achieve a mummy pose that you like. Once you're happy with the position of the arms and legs, you can glue them in place with white glue. Let the glue dry completely.

Another option you can do for the arms is to cut the craft stick in half. This will allow you to go for even more versatile poses.

5Glue a strip of gauze.

Cut gauze or white crepe paper into manageable lengths, around 12 to 18 inches per strip.

Choose a starting point for wrapping the mummy. The head is a good place to start but you can also go for the tip of an arm or leg. Glue the end of one strip behind the mummy's head or whichever section you want to start wrapping.

6Start wrapping with gauze.

Begin wrapping the gauze or crepe paper around the head or whichever starting point you chose. Continue wrapping that section until the cardboard or craft stick is completely covered.

7Slowly work your way down.

Slowly work your way down the mummy's body, wrapping one section at a time.

8Glue the end of the strip.

When you reach the end of the strip, glue it in place or tuck it under other layers of gauze.

9Wrap the entire mummy.

Continue wrapping the mummy with gauze or crepe paper until it is completely covered. When you reach the end of an arm or leg, glue or tuck the end of the gauze or crepe paper in place.

10Create a face.

Paint the area around the eyes with black poster paint or acrylic paint (easily done with a cotton swab). Glue a pair of wiggle eyes on the painted section. You can paint a mouth if you like.
