10. Victorian Mummy Puppets
Bring a touch of theatrical storytelling to your Halloween with Victorian Mummy Puppets. Using standard brown paper lunch bags as the base, these puppets are wrapped in strips of torn, tea-stained cheesecloth or muslin to create a highly detailed, decayed mummy appearance. The natural brown of the paper bag peeks through the gaps in the fabric, adding depth and a sense of ancient dust. Adding vintage-style button eyes or hand-drawn, expressive faces beneath the wrappings gives each puppet a unique personality, ranging from spooky to downright adorable.
These puppets are fantastic for hosting a family puppet show on Halloween night or as whimsical decorations tucked into bookshelves. They are highly tactile, fun to make, and encourage imaginative play for children and adults alike.
