How to Make a Mummy Costume

Lay the ribbons across the front of a white turtleneck or long-sleeve shirt. While there’s no need to wrap the strips (it won’t stick in place anyway), you do need to make sure they’re long enough to wrap around the shirt. Just put it roughly; You’re not playing the most groomed character at the party! Work from the bottom up and stop when you reach the chest.

• Thermal underwear will probably be better than loose suits, at least in terms of appearance. But if it’s not available, you don’t need to spend extra money either. Just use a two-piece suit this way.

Sew the ribbons to the front and back of the shirt. This part is the most time consuming. Fortunately, the more loosely sewn ribbons are sewn in, and the more out of alignment, the better. Leave a few ribbons open for the short and long loops. A mummy costume – it’s not a must-have!

Cut along the inside seam of the two sleeves. This cut will open the sleeves and you can lay the entire sleeve flat on the countertop. That way, you can sew the ribbons in without having to worry about spinning around the sleeve when sewing.

• So that makes! Flatten the shirt. Cut several strips of tape long enough to sew around the sleeves and sew on, layer by layer. Continue sewing the tapes until both sleeves are complete.

Turn the t-shirt inside out and sew the two sleeves together. Remember to sew on the reverse side to hide the seam. How to make people think you just broke into the crypt of the pyramid to get these things. (Who’s to say you didn’t?)

Cut along the inside seam of the pants to the crotch. Flatten the pants and cut the strips to cover the pants. Just do it with a “sloppy” style like when sewing a shirt.

Starting at the hem, sew strips of fabric to both pant legs. You can stop when sewing to the crotch as the shirt will cover the rest, but if you can, sew a few more ribbons to be sure. A strong wind or a move in a dance competition can expose it.

Turn the pants inside out and sew the two legs together. If the seam isn’t straight, that’s okay too! Leave it as it is! Anyway, no one saw it, right?

Try on the suit. Gosh! Are you in the mirror? Phew, all right. But now what to do with the feet and hands? Some ribbons here, some ribbons there (wrapped around gloves and socks), that’s it! Scroll down below to see what to do with the mummy’s head.

Column 4-5 ribbons together. The knots give texture to the mummy suit and look stylish – it’s not like you’ve messed up somewhere!

Wear long underwear or white clothes. Any white long-sleeve shirt and white pants will go well with this costume. However, loose things like boxed pants are not very suitable.

• Don’t forget the thick wool socks!

Start wrapping a trouser leg. You can either wrap the overlapping loops of fabric to secure the top of the band or tie a new knot (it will blend in with many of the existing knots on the suit). Whether you’re wrapping in a straight line, crisscrossing, or whatever, you need to wrap it snugly. Repeat the action for the other leg and the hip. When you reach the end of the band, you can knot the bands together, tie the wrapped part, or just tuck it in.

• Take the fabric from a trouser leg and wrap it around the pelvis. Don’t wrap it higher than your pants – a few glasses of wine at a Halloween party will make you unable to hold back from going to the bathroom. It was a disaster then.

Wrap from waist to shoulder. Wrapping in an X above the sternum and around the shoulders like a strap is the easiest way. Be sure to wrap the ribbons slightly over each other for a snug fit. This time too, if you run out of fabric, just tie another ribbon or tie a knot and start wrapping a new one.

Arm wrap. If you’ve ever wrapped your wrists for boxing or other sports, use the same technique to knit back and forth between your fingers. And if you’ve never done that before… well, you can just knit the bandages between your fingers, wrap them around the base of your thumb and onto your wrist, and so on. If you run out of fabric, start with your fingers and work your way up to your shoulders.

Cover your face with ribbons. If you want to have a scary look, the more you have to cover your face. If you like the cute, harmless, and smiling mummy look, just wrap it from your chin to the top of your head and cover your forehead a little. And if you want to scare your neighbors to death, cover your face, leaving only enough to see and breathe.

• Ask a friend for help. You can wrap the bandage yourself, but tying it securely can be a bit difficult, especially if your vision is limited.
• If you have a ski mask and want to cover your entire face, you can use it as a base for the bandages.
• Pins, bobby pins, or the like are also helpful. You just need to hide it in another layer of ice so it won’t be revealed.

If your face is open, dress up a bit. You will want sunken eyes and sunken cheeks. A little white for the background and black around the cheeks and under the eyes will give you a more creepy look. Add a little baby powder on top for a aged mummy effect, and you’re good to go!!

• Use the gel to dab on the face to create a rough and rotting look. Pull some hair out and mess it up for extra horror. ^[1]
