19. Creepy-Cute Mummy Candy Bowls
Halloween is all about the candy, so why not offer a unique, handmade vessel to hold those sweet treats? These mummy candy bowls are adorable, functional, and highly appealing to parents and party hosts. Start with a basic glass or plastic bowl. Wrap the exterior of the bowl in layers of white gauze bandage or cheesecloth, securing it with Mod Podge as you go. Leave a small gap in the wrapping on one side.
In that gap, glue two large, expressive eyes—you can use realistic acrylic taxidermy eyes for a slightly creepy look, or large cartoonish eyes for a family-friendly vibe. Brush the gauze lightly with brown ink or watered-down brown paint to give the “mummy wraps” an aged, dusty, tomb-fresh appearance. These bowls are durable, highly practical, and add a wonderful touch of handmade charm to any trick-or-treat station or office desk.
