  • How to Make Your Roman Goddess Costume

    Wrap the sheet around your tween, making sure the toga drapes in both the front and the back. You may need to cut the length of the sheet so that your child won't trip while walking. You can secure the sheet at the shoulders with a large broach or two.

    Tie the gold cording either at the waist or just below the bust line. Using bobby pins, secure pieces of plastic ivy in her hair. The sandals complete the look.

    If your tween wants to carry a prop, fill a small basket with grapes and fruit. Your Roman Goddess costume is complete.
