Default Limp Mummy

My mother-in-law surprised me by making me a lifesize mummy for my haunt this year. The only problem is that she didn't reinforce the insides with anything so it doesn't stand up. Can anyone tell me how to make it rigid without unwrapping it????

You can coil a firm wire around the limbs. If you follow the wrappings it shouldn't be too noticeable. You could also insert rebar from the feet. Make a small hole and poke it all the way through.

Have you considered making it a tomb. You could lay it inside or stand the tomb up and ziptie the arms and legs in. You could also make a PVC frame that goes under and along the sides and tie it down with some Similiar wraps as the mummy is wrapped with.

Yeah Unk, I guess I left myself open for that one!!!

That tomb is a great idea KNightWalker. Maybe I'll go home tonight and see what I can come up with!

Thanks guys!
