Any DIYers for Halloween Costumes - need inspiration

I'm not one for getting all dressed up for Halloween but I like to BE in the Halloween spirit.  My back up options are a black angel (simple) and black cat (more simple). 

However, this year I have been inspired to make my own no sew mummy costume.This is my first time attempting to make my own costume.  I soaked a white sheet in water with tea bags and leftover coffee from yesterday and have the sheet air drying now. 

I plan to rip the sheet in long 2inch strips, and glue them all over/cover a black dress.  Make my hair very curly, wild & puffy, use a strip as a bandana around my hair, dark eyes and lips, fishnet stocking and black boots.  WDYT?

 Any advice?  Tips?  Words of encouragement.  Anyone tried this before?  Cross your fingers for me....

  • LOVE. Although I would use a nude dress instead of black.

  • Thanks!  I'll have to see what I can pull out of my closet. I was going to Good Will the Black dress and pulled it out of the bag for this project.  I think I have a brown beach dress I haven't worn in years that may work.
