These no carve mummy pumpkins are such an easy Halloween craft. They are super cute during the day and GLOW at night! They look so neat and I have never seen anything like them. Give this kinda spooky pumpkin a try if you want the most unique pumpkin on the block!
You might remember my glow-in-the-dark mummy hiking stick from years ago. This is a fun variation of that super simple Halloween craft. These pumpkins are easy for little ones to make and also fun for adults!
I love that these are a no carve design. I’m always a little nervous when my boys are holding sharp knives, for obvious reasons;) We try to do most of our pumpkin decorations without a knife and this is the perfect design!
Let’s get to it-
Supplies:
- Glow-in-the-dark tape– We used the half inch tape for the small pumpkins and a mix of the half inch tape and one inch tape for the larger one!
- Glow-in-the-dark googly eyes– We used the the mixed small sized googly eyes for the small pumpkins and the two inch googly eyes for the large pumpkin!
- Scissors
- Pumpkin-Head to your nearest grocery store or take a trip to the pumpkin farm! Grab different colors and sizes.

How to Make this Simple Mummy Pumpkin:
Step 1:
Cut strips of tape and wrap them around the pumpkin. Since this tape isn’t super flexible, I decided it was easier to cut the tape into strips instead of wrapping the a long piece of tape around the pumpkin multiple times.
The length of your tape strips will depend on the size of your pumpkin. My tape strips wrapped a little more than half way around the pumpkin. This worked best for me!
I cut about 10-12 tape strips per pumpkin. Wrap the tape in a cross cross design to make it look more realistic!
The beauty of this mummy pumpkin is you really can’t mess it up! Keep adding strips of tape until you are happy with the look of the pumpkin.
I only added a couple strips of tape to the back to complete the mummy look. The back of our pumpkin won’t be visible, so I decided to save tape and only add a couple pieces.
Add a couple googly eyes and you are all done. The eyeballs also glow in the dark!
Here is our larger pumpkin! We used the a mix of the half inch tape and one inch thick tape for this one. I would choose the inch tape if I had to pick one. It takes up more space on the pumpkin, so you can use less. We also used the two inch glow in the dark googly eyes!
This tape is waterproof and has already survived several storms, so these pumpkins can be displayed indoors or outdoors! As you can see in the photo below, the pumpkins are dripping wet and the tape isn’t budging. We have our pumpkins on our front steps and they look perfect!

I hope you give this mummy pumpkin a try! I promise, your little nature lovers will love it as much as my boys.
