Decorate your Mummy Glasses
- Cut Bandage length-wise, so that the width of the bandage is 1/2 as wide
- Combine flour and water in small bowl or ramekin, and stir until the solution is dissolved
- Use the flour mixture like glue, and paint the stem of the glass, immediately wrapping gauze around the stem
- Paint the glass where you want your gauze to spiral up. (Leave some spaces for the cocktail and Mummy face to show through)
- Tuck any edges and secure with your glue. Gently wash off excess glue marks.
- Be creative with your gauze placement, folding, and fraying- (Mummies weren't neat and uniform)
- Lay the glass down on a towel, place 2 dots of glue, and add googly eyes. (Let dry for 5 minutes)
