To make a mummy costume, start with a white base outfit like a long-sleeve shirt and leggings. Buy some white fabric or use old sheets, tearing them into strips. Age the strips by soaking them in tea and letting them dry. Wrap the strips loosely around the body, layering for a more authentic look. Secure the ends with safety pins hidden under layers or use fabric glue. Don’t forget to wrap your hands, feet, and head similarly. Apply minimal makeup to pale the skin slightly and create shadowed eyes for a spooky effect.
