Coolest Mummy Costume 10

Mummy Costume
My son's mummy costume was a huge hit. I stared with his old karate costume, bought some gauze fabric for $3 at Walmart and used fabric glue.
I cut the fabric into strips about 12"-18" long and began gluing them onto the karate outfit. I left lots of pieces hanging off. I found a bit of netting from a dollar store and glued bits of it on as well. I used his old croc shoes and glued gauze to them.
For his head I used white face paint and tied remaining strips of cloth around his head. I made strong tea & sprayed the entire costume with it to age the material and make it look authentic.
This was a very easy, cheap to make costume and was a huge hit and looked much better than the store bought mummy costumes.
