Our mummies will be another fun costume to put together. The pictures above are exactly what we are looking for. Please NO TOILET PAPER! It will not last through the whole musical and will leave a mess behind. You can use muslin or a ripped up old sheet stained with tea bags to give it an aged look. Have your child wear light colored thermals or other light colored, thin clothing underneath. Leave a few pieces hanging here and there. The most important thing is that we need these mummy costumes to stay together during the whole musical (3 performances) and keep in mind that our mummies will be doing a little dance during their scene so they need to be able to move and sit/lay down on the floor without everything coming unraveled. It would be ideal if you could sew or otherwise permanently attach the material to their underclothing so we don't have mummies spontaneously unraveling! You don't have to be a good sewer, in fact, the messier the look, the better! As I keep mentioning on all these posts, remember that it will be quite warm on stage with all the bodies and lights. Make this costume as lightweight as possible. And we do not want any of our mummies faces covered so they can breath and you can see their cute faces singing the songs. (o:
