If you're looking for a simple but creative costume for Halloween or a costume party, consider putting together a Julius Caesar costume. Caesar was a famous Roman emperor who was notoriously murdered on the steps of the Roman Forum. His dress was characterized by a toga and a head garland, which is easy to recreate using just a bit of materials and tools, some of which you may already have on hand.
Step 1
Drape an old white sheet around your body so it falls like a column, covering the legs but leaving the arms uncovered.

Step 2
Gather the fabric at the shoulders and safety pin at each shoulder so the sheet hangs from your shoulders like a toga.
Step 3
Tie a thin piece of gold ribbon around each safety pin to conceal the pin.
Step 4
Glue together about 12 fake leaves from a craft store, making them into a U-shape.
Step 5
Lay the leaf formation on a sheet of newspaper and spray with gold spray paint. Let dry.
Step 6
Secure the leaf headpiece to your hair with bobby pins.
Tip
Add some sandals to complete the look.
