20. Mummy-Wrapped Balloon Columns
Flank your doorway or stage with towering, mummy-wrapped balloon columns. Build tall, solid columns using matte black or dark grey balloons as a base structure. Wrap the columns diagonally with wide strips of white crepe paper, gauze, or cheesecloth, leaving small gaps in the wrapping. In these gaps, place pairs of large, glowing yellow or red balloon “eyes” that peer out from the bandages. This simple yet highly effective design creates a spooky, ancient Egyptian tomb vibe that is both playful and imposing.
