Here’s how to make a toga with a bedsheet:
1. Pick a Sheet
Select a white or cream-colored bedsheet that’s big enough to cover you from shoulder to below knee. If you don’t have a plain sheet, you can use a patterned one, but the result might not look as traditional.
2. Fold the Sheet
The starting point to make a toga is to fold the top of the sheet down by around 6-12 inches, depending on your height. You will then sling the bottom of the sheet over the shoulder, which will create a draped effect.
3. Drape It
Hold the sheet over one recent and tuck it under the opposite arm. Then wrap the sheet around the back, bringing it over the opposite shoulder. The cloth should be hanging down from the front and back.
Next, you want to bring the sheet up to your waist and make it secure. You can make use of a belt, a piece of wire, or a ribbon. The item of choice doesn’t matter as long as it serves the purpose of keeping the toga in place.
4. Adjust and Style
Adjust the length of the toga as needed. You can cut the length of the tail to make it drape to a particular length. Then, creatively fold the draped parts of the sheet and secure them in place with pins or clips. If you want to add a final touch, you can use accessories; gold or silver jewelry gives the traditional Roman emperor vibe, but anything that comes to mind can work.
5. Practice Moving
A toga may take some time to get used to. They can be heavy and may fall off if not adequately secured. Take a quick practice walk and see if it needs fixing. Additionally, make sure you can comfortably move around since you want to make sure you can groove with it during the party.
