I took a Halloween deco skeleton, paper mache the body, arms, and legs.after the body dries I took 3 screws and put them in the nose hole to make sure the nose doesn't break off. I used construction adhesive (water based) and coated and molded the head and hands. I took a white sheet, ripped it into 2 inch strips, then mixed a bottle of tacky glue and a pot of coffee (for color), dipped each strip into the mixture and wrapped the whole thing, minus the hands and head. I painted the head and hands and let the thing dry for a couple days. Then lacquer the whole mummy (3 coats), then let dry.
