💡 Designer Notes

To make your mummy wreath look exactly like the one in the photo, here are a few artistic touches you can try:

👁 Green Eyes with Personality
For that sweet, glowing expression, use 12–14 mm green safety eyes (or clear ones tinted green from behind with acrylic paint). The soft color contrast really makes the mummy come alive.

🏮 Structured Lantern Glow
If you’d like the lantern to look more dimensional, add one BLO round near the top and bottom edges for a subtle ridge effect. You can also slip a small cardboard or wire circle inside the caps to sharpen the shape and help it stand tall around the LED.

🧣 Realistic Fabric Bandages
Instead of crocheted strips, try using narrow fabric or elastic ribbons in matching beige. Wrap them gently around your finished doll, overlapping in random directions for a cleaner, layered look — just like the real mummy wraps in the photo.

🌹 Artistic Rose Placement
Feel free to play with the rose layout for a natural flow. The photo shows an asymmetrical design — roses clustered toward the top left and lower right corners, with the vine trailing softly to one side. It gives the wreath a beautiful handmade charm.

✨ Finishing Touch
Add a warm white LED or tea light inside the lantern for that cozy Halloween glow, and use matte yarn for the wreath base to recreate the rich, fabric-like texture seen in the photo.
