How to Make an Egyptian Costume

Level

Time

Budget

Ancient Egypt was my favourite subject at school, and still holds great fascination. If you're a parent with children studying it, chances are there will be a dress up day at school. Hobbycraft is on hand with a Egyptian costume solution, so put the toilet paper down and try this for size.

Perfect as a school project.
