An interesting and creative Greek goddess costume is very easy to make yourself. It doesn't take much of your time, and you may already have all the materials you need at home (or can be easily purchased at a reasonable price). Give yourself only a few hours to work on the costume, and you will not notice how ready to appear at the costume party in the form of a goddess.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Making a Cloth Toga

1. 1 Use a large piece of fabric to make a traditional toga. You will need a large piece of white or beige fabric. If you don't have fabric, you can also bring a sheet. You don't need to sew a toga, you just need to tie the corners of the fabric with a knot.
   • Do not use fabric that is too rough. A flowy and well-draped fabric is best suited to simulate a toga.
   • If you are worried about being decorous or that the toga is too light for the weather outside, then you can always wear a white top and bottom under it.
2. 2 Take a piece of fabric horizontally. To wrap in a toga, you need to position the longest side of the available fabric section horizontally. When doing this, the fabric should be attached to your back. Wrap the fabric slightly around your body so that the top edge goes under your armpits.
   • If the fabric is too long, fold the top over a few centimeters to achieve the desired length of the toga.
3. 3 Wrap the right end of the fabric cut around you at the front and back. Slide the corner of the cut from the back over the right shoulder. It will serve as a toga tie (in most cases a toga has only one shoulder). Hold this corner as you continue to wrap in the fabric.
4. 4 Finish tying the toga. Wrap the left end of the fabric around you. When that end is back to the front, pull the left corner of the fabric towards the right shoulder and knot it to the right corner.
   • Tie the corners of the fabric with a double knot to secure it. Tuck the ends of the corners into a knot or under the fabric so they don't stick out.

Part 2 of 3: Making the crown

1. 1 Collect the materials needed to craft the crown. Many Greek goddesses had a kind of crown on their heads, so its presence will distinguish your costume from the costume of a simple Greek. You will need something like a headband, such as tape, wire, narrow elastic, or string. You will also need artificial leaves and scissors.
   • Gold spray paint will do the trick either, but it's not necessary.
   • If you don't have the materials you need, you can purchase them online or at any craft store.
   • If you see an artificial liana branch in the store, then it itself can be turned into a ready-made crown of a Greek goddess. Simply cut it to the desired length and pin the ends together to create a wreath of the size you want.
2. 2 Cut the material you took for the headband to the size you want. You need to leave a little margin at the ends of the material for later bonding. The headband should not be too tight to be easily put on and off the head, but at the same time it should not be too loose so as not to fall off the head.
3. 3 Attach the leaves to the rim. Take a pair of scissors, use them to poke small holes in the artificial leaves, and string the leaves onto your rim one at a time. Some people prefer to use a whole sea of ​​leaves, while others only a few; it's all a matter of your personal taste.
   • When you're done stringing the leaves together, pin the ends of the headband together and your crown is ready.
4. 4 Paint the resulting crown gold if desired. Place the crown on an old newspaper or paper towel to avoid staining the furniture. Paint it completely with gold spray paint.
   • Allow the paint to cure for 10-15 minutes before putting the crown on your head. While the paint dries, you can start adding the finishing touches to your look.

Part 3 of 3: Completing the look

1. 1 Tie the belt over the toga. Instead of a modern belt, take a simple rope or gold-colored cord or ribbon for this. Wrap the material around your waist a few times before tying the knot. This will make your costume more realistic. You should tie the belt with a knot, not a bow.
2. 2 Find the right shoes for the suit. If you want to be like a Greek goddess, then you need the right shoes. Don't wear boots or sneakers. You need to wear regular sandals or sandals with a string. Gold or beige sandals are ideal.
   • If you want to create an imitation of gladiatorial sandals, take a ribbon and wrap it around your calves from heels to knees.
3. 3 Find the right accessories to complete your goddess look. Accessories play a huge role in presenting an outfit in a showy way, be it a special outfit or casual wear. If you use the right accessories, you can easily win first place for the best costume at any costume party.
   • Suitable accessories include narrow and wide gold bracelets, earrings, rings, and brooches pinned to the toga.
   • Complete your look with wavy hair and natural gold tones.
4. 4 Complete your costume with the distinctive features of a specific Greek goddess. For example, pick up a small musical instrument if you are portraying a muse. Or, take with you a distinctive item from a famous Greek goddess. Aphrodite can hold a dove (an artificial bird can be purchased at most craft stores), Artemis is a hunting bow, and Athena will have a battle helmet on her head instead of a crown.
