I wanted to dress up as a Mummy for the Halloween festivities. It is a simple costume; all one needs is an abundance of white bandages—we tore up an old sheet we found, I hope no one was still using it–and you wind it around your body until you are left with just the eyes peeking out.

I had a friend help wind the strips around me because if you have tried to do this yourself, you will know it is almost impossible. You will become tangled up and have to hop out the door to seek help.

We wound and wound until I thought I would fall down.

The result of all this winding was a good-looking Mummy, but the last little strip would not stay tucked in and kept flopping in my eyes and bits of it are becoming a bit loose. Maybe this is fine it looks as if the Mummy is coming undone, which may be even scarier than a Mummy bound. What do you think?
