Custom Made Egyptian God & Goddess Costumes

Handmade Egyptian Inspired God & Goddess Costumes 

Egyptian God & Goddess Accessories

My Costume (the Egyptian Goddess):
The dress itself was a silk nightgown that I found at the thrift store. I found some cool gadgets and trinkets in the household section of a thrift shop, such as this awesome brass cat head that I used on my headband (since cats were sacred sacred to them).  I just wired it onto a headband with some jewelry wire.  My belt was a gold scarf, and I made necklace out of a strand of some decorative Holiday Icicles for Christmas trees!  Christmas ornaments make for great accessories.  My hair was just a wig from a beauty hair shop. I used blue and gold eye shadow along with black liquid eye liner to extend my cat eyes, and added my own jewelry that I had for the earrings and bracelet.  On my feet, I just wore tan sandals and painted my nails a gold color.

Black Swan Style

This costume was pretty easy to throw together.  The hardest part is really the eyes, which wasn't so bad.

What I used to get the look:

-Black frilly skirt (a tutu will work, too)
-Black tank top
-Black tights/shoes
-White face paint blended all over face and neck (or a pale fundation/powder for a more subtle look)
-Eyes: Grey, black and silver Eye liners used to draw feathers around eyes.  The most important is to get a general outline and fill it in.  I got detailed, but it ended up blending all together anyway.
-Hair: Pull hair back into a bun like a ballerina, use feather headbands and add black feathers randomly with bobby pins.

Thanks for visiting.  I hope my ideas has given someone an idea on what to be this holiday season.  Please feel free to share, ask questions, or comment.
