Spray the lid with bond adhesive. Immediately place four or five pieces of yarn at a time side by side until no plastic is showing. Slightly press the overhanging yarn downward over the lip to form bangs. Let dry completely.

Diva’s Tip:

You can make a wrapped mummy, too. Paint it white, add some googly eyes, and wrap the whole pail in gauze.
