How to Make a Mummy Costume

This is so much better than using a roll of toilet paper! Using old clothes and sheets you have laying around the house, or buying some from the thrift store, follow Rob of Threadbanger to make your own realistic mummy costume! For more information on this project, watch the video, and for more tutorials of do it yourself fashion, subscribe to Threadheads on iTunes!

Materials:
White sheets (2)
White pants/jeans
White long sleeve shirt (preferably turtleneck)
Box of 100 tea bags
Some 3-5 gallon buckets
Seam ripper
Sewing machine
Scissors

Step 1 Dying the Material to Make it Look Ancient

Get that dirty, off-white, century-old mummy look by dying all of the material in black tea.

Put the tea, hot water, and materials into the big buckets and steep for about 2-6 hours.

Take them out, dry them, and you are ready to mummify.

This is awesome! Having a 10 month old made making this take 3 weeks, but I now have a face mask (hot glued extra strips to a $0.45 plastic mask), gloves (hand sewed wrappings on them), and shoes (hot glue again) in addition to the pants and shirt, though I used a hoddie so my head would be mummified as well. It looks awesome! Thanks for the how to.

But what do you do for the feet? I think a mummy wearing a pair of Nikes would sort of ruin the effect.
