Today's project I have to share with you is another cute and simple decoration, a mummy bowling pin. My family loves bowling, so this is perfect for us, lol.
I started out by taking a small wooden bowling pin (from a kid's play set) and spray painting it white.
Next, I took some rolled guaze (from the Dollar Tree) and used a hot glue gun to roll and attach the gauze around the pin. Remember, this doesn't need to be perfect, you can roll it around how thick or loose you like.
Once this was completely wrapped, I used Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink along the gauze to give it an aged look. Again, this is a step that can be done as much or little as you like depending on your preference.
Finally, I used hot glue to add two little yellow google eyes to the front to finish him off.
