Mummy How-To

Step 12: Step 11

Take the old sheet and cut it into three-inch to four-inch strips. Once done, take your tea-soaked undershirt strips out and hang them to partially air dry; DO NOT WRING OUT!! Let them dry without wringing, because this will keep the tea’s darkness in, and thus “age” your finished mummy. DO NOT ALLOW them to fully dry!! If they are slightly damp when you start wrapping, they’ll shrink and tighten as they dry. I found this to be ideal for my finished product. 

Brew another batch of tea, and put your sheet strips in to soak. These strips will be used to wrap the legs and torso of the mummy. Let them soak for about 20-30 minutes as well, and then let them air-dry, also without wringing! Follow the same protocol as the previousstep above.
