This is a step-by-step procedure of how I made my own mummy.

Materials: Contents of Mummy Kit.

Step 1) I mixed the clay with 21/2 cups of water and mixed together until thick but not to thick. I then laid the mummy pattern out and took a spoon and filled in the mummy pattern starting with the head and worked down to the middle of the body and continuing to the feet

Step 2) After putting the clay in the mummy I sat the mummy where he could dry. After about an hour he was dry and I took the patterns off of the clay and there was my mummy.

Step 3) I took some cloth like the old rugged kind they used to wrap the mummies in back in Egyptian times. And cut it into strip to wrap him in. After having about 10 strips of the wrap I took the mummy and painted his eyes and face mask which the Pharaohs wore to help then through the travel to the under world.

Step 4) After the Mummies paint was dry I started from the feet and wrapped him half way then took rubber bands close to the same color at the wrappings and then continued on up to the head and also put rubber band around the top half of the mummy.

Part 2 Creating the Sarcophagus

Materials: Contents of Kit.

Now it was time to make the kings tomb where he would lay.

Step 1) I took the board and shaped in to a box .(this is a kit the boxes were already cut but had to assemble them myself.) Glued each side together and held them for a couple of seconds, until they remained in place.

Step 2) I took the lid and folded the taps down and had my mom hold them until I got the other tap folded which held the other tap down. After folding all the taps the top of his Sarcophagus was done.
done.

* (The tomb is better called a Sarcophagus there are 2 places where the mummy is laid the inside tomb and the Sarcophagus.)

Step 3) Now I placed the mummy inside the tomb and placed the tomb inside the Sarcophagus. And wedged the tabs together very gently and my mummy is done and the Sarcophagus was done as well.
