If you’ve ever found yourself in the midst of a Greek-themed party and desperately needed an easy way to make a toga, then today is your lucky day. Making a toga out of a bed sheet is easier than you think, and you don’t even need any sewing skills to pull it off. All you need is one flat sheet, an elastic headband, and some safety pins. Now let’s get started!
Step 1: Choose the Right Bed Sheet
The most important part of making a successful toga is picking the right sheet. Cotton sheets are best —they look better, fall better, and are easier to work with than polyester sheets. You will also want to choose wisely when it comes to size. If you select a sheet that is too large for your body type, it won't stay in place; if you select one that is too small, it will look like an ill-fitting dress rather than an impressive Roman-style toga.
Step 2: Fold the Bed Sheet
The first step in making the perfect toga out of a bed sheet is actually pretty simple. First, spread the sheet on the ground or hang it up so that it’s nice and flat. Then, fold the top edge over once so that it measures about two feet high (you can adjust this measurement depending on how long your sheet is). This will form your shoulder straps. Once you have your straps made, wrap the sheet around your body and tie it in place with some safety pins.
Step 3: Accessorize!
Now that we have our basic toga completed, it’s time to accessorize! The best way to do this is with an elastic headband—the kind that has metal prongs running down its length. Slide one end of the band through the other side until you get a loop at either end. Wrap these loops around each shoulder strap and secure them in place with safety pins for extra stability. As for what color headband you should choose? We recommend something bright and bold—something that will help make sure your outfit stands out from all the rest! Or, if you can't find one of those headbands, you can try these hair bands wrapped around the shoulder straps and over the top of the metal.
Step 4: Show Off Your Work!
Once you have completed steps 1 and 2, all that’s left is for you to show off your work! Put on a pair of sandals or go barefoot—whatever suits your style—and strut around like the goddess or god of Greek mythology that you are now officially dressed as! Don’t forget to take lots of pictures while you’re at it too—after all, this may be one of your last chances ever again to dress up like Aphrodite or Apollo!
That's all there is to creating a fabulous "bedsheet" toga! With just three easy steps, anyone can create an impressive costume without spending too much money or time in preparation. So if ever find yourself needing an eye-catching costume quickly, look no further than your very own bed sheet – it could be just what you need for all those impromptu themed parties! Happy crafting everyone!
