Naturally, as is the case every year, Netflix gave us a lot of ideas for Halloween costumes. For example, the newest craze, which is definitely going to take over All Saints’ Day in 2021 is Squid Game. The viral show provides a few Halloween costume ideas. On the other hand, superheroes will never go out of style. This year, it seems like Spider-man and Harley Quinn are especially trendy.

Womens Halloween costumes – mummy DIY tutorial

Supplies:

• full body suit in nude with a zipper
• 6 yards cotton muslin in white or gold
• acrylic metallic gold paint (different shades)
• wide foam paint brush
• gold leaf
• fabric glue
• plastic sheeting

Instructions:

1. Cover a large surface with the plastic sheeting.
2. Dip the fabric in water and wring out the excess water. Lay it out on the plastic sheeting.
3. Mix the paint with a little bit of water to slightly dilute it. Paint the enture surface of the fabric and let it seep in onto the other side. Mix different shades. Wrinkle the fabric in a few spots and let it dry completely.
4. Once dry, remove the fabric from the plastic sheeting. Make small slits every 2 inches along the fabric and tear into strips at each cut.
5. Put on the body suit and cut out the section covering the face and neck.
6. Start gluing strips of the fabric to the body suit, wrapping it around your body (you are going to need a helper to achieve this). Overlap the fabric and alternate the top painted part with the bottom one. Attach with glue at a couple of points. Don’t wrap too tight, let some bits hang loose.
7. Once you have wrapped all the fabric and glued it to the body suit, make a cut in the wrapped fabric where the zipper is. Secure the edges onto the zipper so that you can take the mummy costume off easier.
8. Add bits of gold leaf to the costume for extra effect.
