Greek Costume?
For school we are to be gods & goddesses. I am to be the goddess Artemis (roman name Diana). She is the goddess of the hunt & protector of children. I need a dress, diadem, & sandals. Can someone tell me how to make them?
P.S- I need to know how to make
a) greek sandals
b) artemis dress
c) diadem
Thanks!
You can find patterns at fabric stores for Greek style outfits in the “costume” sections of the books. Ask any associate working there and they can help you. But here is a link to make a greek style dress:

As far as the sandals go, essentially they would have been a flat piece of leather, cut in the shape of the foot (traced in the same way that you would trace your hand to make crafts) and then leather strings would be attached at the sides and wrap over your feet to hold the bottom piece onto your foot, then wrapped around the ankle.
For ideas of how to make sandals, look up how to make moccasins, and just alter the ideas to suit how sandals would be. I have also included a few links below. Keep in mind that Artemis was not very feminine, so her style of dress would be female, but almost masculine. Let me put it this way, she is popular amongst the butchs.
Good luck!

Here's my opinion: artistic talent is largely learned. Most of the so-called experts will argue this statement, of course. They’ll proclaim that artistic oil painting techniques are only in the grasp of those rare individuals that are born with a mysteriously God-like ability to create art. Being lowly mortals, we should never even try to understand art let alone try to create it. Give me a break! Click here For the rest of the story: Free Painting Lesson
