Easiest mummy wraps ever

StiltbeastStudios demonstrates a fast, budget-friendly mummy costume built on a plain white shirt-and-pants set, distressed with aerosol spray paints to create an aged, wrapped look. The entire outfit reportedly came together in about 20 minutes for roughly $30. The technique works as a strong base layer that can be dressed up further with additional mummy detailing. It's accessible enough for complete beginners and suits a wide range of ages.

Allen Hopps of StiltbeastStudios walks through his go-to methods for distressing costumes to achieve a convincingly aged and worn look.
