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.

Flapper Film Star

Okay so flappers are an easy costume to throw together, but what's more fun is playing the part of a real flapper.  I chose Colleen Moore, a 1920s filmstar flapper who rocked the bobbed hair.

 So take a moment and watch old films or clips on the web and play the roll of a true flapper for the night.
