Halloween Craft – Mummy Bucket

July 11, 2010 This post may contain affiliate links.

Have fun with your kids and make a fun Halloween Craft! This spooky Mummy Bucket is so easy to make and can be filled with your favorite Halloween candies!

halloween craft mummy bucket

When I was a kid my favorite two hours of the entire year happened on the evening of October 31st. Growing up in suburbia had it’s share of fun, but nothing was more fun than spending an evening dressed in a homemade costume racing from house to house begging for candy. Arriving at home after two full hours of running I was exhausted but filled with anticipation. I would pour my pillow case filled with treasures onto the kitchen table and sit in utter amazement.  All of these delectable sweets were mine.  The trading would begin immediately as my brothers and sister and I would swap candies for our favorites, being sure to create a pile of Mounds and Almond Joy bars for my mom. There aren’t too many candies that I don’t enjoy, but of course I have my favorites.  I love Twizzlers, Swedish Fish, Tootsie Rolls and Reese’s Cups. I gave away anything sour and was more than glad to swap out bags of chips for a candy bar. I treasured my candy bars and had a special place in my heart for those households that passed out full size bars. There was one house in the neighborhood that could not be missed and often we stopped by more than once in an evening. The man of the house worked for Hostess and they always had a Hostess character in their yard to  greet us. Every year we would meet a new character and get a different product. I’ll never forget the year they passed out tiny loaves of Wonder Bread.  I went back three times. We had so much fun making cute little sandwiches on that bread.

Now many years later our house is the place to be on Beggars’ Night.  Our house is always decorated and we pass out really fun candy like Pez, Halloween Peeps, or Nerds Ropes.  Someday an adult will think back on Beggars’ Night and fondly remember the lady on the block that always passed out the coolest candy and that lady they will be remembering will be me.

Last year we hosted our kid’s Halloween party and many of the neighborhood kids attended. They all created a mummy bucket to use on Beggars’ Night.  It was so fun to see them come to my door and shout “Trick or Treat” while holding out their crafty pail to receive their treat.

This project is so simple that with a little guidance even very young kids can create their own bucket. If you decide to do this project this Halloween, try to buy your buckets at the end of the summer. They go on clearance then and you will have a lot of pails to choose from.

Mummy Buckets

supplies needed to decorate halloween bucket

Supplies:

1 beach pail (any color)

1 roll of gauze (3″ x 4.5′)*

2 wiggly eyes

glue (or double stick tape)

 *I purchased these short rolls of gauze at the dollar store.

kids crafts halloween

Squeeze glue out in three lines down one side of your bucket (or put one or two strips of double stick tape down one side of your bucket).  Stick one end of gauze over glue and begin to wrap gauze around the bucket.

how to decorate Halloween bucket

Wrap the gauze up and around the bucket gently pressing it into the glue. The end of the gauze will most likely not end up over the glue or tape, so glue or tape it down. Pull two layers of gauze apart a few inches down from the top of the bucket.

easy halloween craft

Glue or tape two wiggly eyes onto the bucket.  I like to use two different size eyes to make the mummy look a little silly.  Each of these mummy buckets will cost about $2.

    My favorite memory is my grandma having a big party for all her grandchildren when I was 9. We went Trick R Treating first and then came back to fine the inside of her house filled with string to look like a spider web. At the end of each string were little bags of candy. It was so much fun twisting and turning our way through the string web!

    WOW! I scrolled down the page looking for the picture, LOL! Once i saw you talking about stencils I realized I'd passed it by thinking it was just a plate!!

    I think that this looks like an awful lot of work – I hope that whoever makes it has people over who would be thrilled by it!!

    My mom always made super cool Halloween costumes for us and it was great because it wasn't just like what everyone else had it was unique. One year she made a matching costume for her and me, it was a dragon and it was such a great costume everyone was talking about it for weeks afterward. I definitely felt super cool! 🙂

    I can vividly remember running ahead of the pack in order to be the first to knock on the door. I tripped on the curb and landed on a large cactus. OUCH! I had to go back home and let my Grandmama pick out the thorns. Trick-Or-Treating was over before it started.

    My favorite memory is when I was in junior high, my friend had a Halloween party and we thought we were the coolest kids ever. But when we went trick-or-treating, a creepy guy dressed as Batman kept following us so we got scared and ran home. Needless to say, we stayed inside the rest of the night!

    It is so fun to see the variety of candy people have listed as their favorite. I so love to hear your stories about Beggars' Night (Trick or Treat). Here's one of my memories.

    One year it was so cold on Beggars' Night and I was dressed as a Baton Twirler. I wore a leotard with a very short skirt, had my hair done up and wore more makeup than any 8 year old should wear. I proudly carried my baton, twirling for candy at each door. We started out the evening so excited that we barely noticed the cold but it didn't take long before I had to run home to get some long pants before going off to beg at more doors. The evening air grew increasingly colder as we ran from house to house, so when we reached our backyard neighbor's house, I ran home for a coat. As the night wore on my baton began to stick to my hands, so I left it at a friend's house. At that point we still had lots of houses to get to and unfortunately I just looked like an 8 year old who had raided her mom's makeup drawer. I got lot's of comments, but still got candy and that is all that mattered to me.

    Must be a regional thing, but I had never heard of Halloween being called Beggars Night–it fits though. My memories are not terribly specific, but because my childhood was a LONG time ago, it was before all the fears of homemade goodies, dangers put into fruit and candy, etc. I lived in a very small town and we knew virtually every house we would go to–one of my favorites was that of one of my classmates. Her mother made the BEST divinity–but my mother loved it too, so the 3 of us kids had to divide up that particular house loot with her!

    I have a lot of great memories, I remember one year it was too cold out, snow was everywhere, so my mom took us to the Mall to Trick R Treat. I got some really cool stuff there like baseball cards, I was a ballerina that year.

    I remember one year I gave out full-size candy bars…Abba Zabbas. One of the neighborhood kids came to my door and was super excited…so she went home and changed into a different costume to try to trick me into giving her another one! lol I gave her another one just for effort and enthusiasm (and for making me laugh!)

    i have memories of those houses you could not miss. my neighborhood never did much, but we'd go to other places and it was a lot of fun. i know one street had a lot of their neighbors at ONE house so you'd go in a circle in the yard and grab from each bucket.

    A couple of years ago, I was walking with my kids and this guy, dressed up as a zombie was following us. My kids were little at the time, so I didn't say anything to them, but boy was I wierded out. I was actually afraid. I told them that we were done for the night and that I had more treats for them at home and we headed directly home.

    Hey Pete,

    I LOVE the fact that my chocolate truffles are your favorite candies. My friend gave me some red currents this week and I made truffles using their juice. Yum! I have extras if you'd like some:) I also love creative costumes. I never wore a store bought costume as a child. Of course back then store bought costumes consisted of a plastic mask and a plastic cape.

    Beth, I love your creative genius! I guess you might call it "Sweet Inspiration." (Hey, that could be the title of your next book!)
    Now, it's going to look like I'm trying to kiss something, but my favority candy is your chocolate truffles. They are awesome. If I have to choose a favorite of a more commercial nature it'd be heath bars…or butterfingers…or sugar babies. Pretty much anything that sticks to you teeth with the exception of tootsie rolls.
    A good Beggar's Night memory:
    We didn't have much money and buying a costume was out of the question. I always liked something that looked different. So I got an old t-shirt and sewed a skinny two-sided pouch down the back, and added another three sided pouch to the back of a pair of jeans. Then I got the handle to a mop my mom threw out, and nailed a laundry basket upside down on one end. I drew a BIG crazy face on a bed sheet, threw it over the laundry basket and stuck the mop handle into the pouches. I had a costume that was about nine feet tall, easy to wear, and was fairly different. Got lots of candy that night!
    Your quesadilla recipe sounded good, but I didn't try it. We went to the opening night instead of having an eclipse party. But I like the idea: change the image to suit the occasion.

    My favorite candy is heath bars. Once I took my little sister trick-or-treating,she is 12 years younger than me. This boy around the block, knew I was taking her trick or treating, and wanted to pull a prank on me. He rigged a body to come out of the tree when we walked by. It scared my sister so much she wet her pants. He felt really bad about it and gave her a bunch of candy.
