Coolest Mummy Costume

This mummy costume I made for my son Terrell. It wasn’t hard to make but looked as if it was. All I paid for were some glue sticks and some fake bugs from the dollar store. This is how I made it.

First I found some old top sheets in my closet, tore them up in strips, filled the laundry tub with hot water and tossed in about 20-30 tea bags, then tossed in the strips of sheets. Left the strips over night and dried them in the dryer in the morning.

I then got some old play clothes of my sons, pants and a shirt. Got the hot glue gun and just started gluing the strips to the old clothes. So he could put it on just like he puts on his pants and shirt. I then wrapped some of the strips around his head and then took them off and just glued a bunch together to make the cover for his head. (I guess you can use an old hat but this was just as easy.) I then got his old play runners and hot glued some of the strips to them.

Then got him to put it on and glued some strips under his arms and tore them a bit to make them look more ragged. I just used some black halloween make-up to put around his eyes, and glued some bugs and spiders to the costume.

Took me about 4 hours in total to make this costume, but cost about $5. Everyone loved this costume and he was happy cause most of the houses he went to gave him more candy for having such a great costume. This year I am making him a scary scarecrow, almost done.
