I am in Brisbane, Australia and i recently moved here. I have never gone trick or treating or anything like this before as i am from South Africa and it is a little risky doing such..
I would like to dress up as a Mummy for halloween this year, i would like to go for the cheapest option. not something too pricey; i dont want to hire a costume. i want to make my own. i was thinking of using bandages, but im not too sure.. i have never done this before and so i dont know if it will out nicely or not.. it has too look a lil brownish and dirty as Mummies are ancient! and... should i wear any sort of footwear? it may look a bit odd. so maybe not..
but any ideas/advice or experiences you would like to share with me would be greatly appreciated!
thank you!
