How to Make a Superhero Cape

by Mariana Patrick

My son received a superhero cape for his birthday one year and his 6 year old and two year old sisters wanted to be just like him. I did not have fabric or the time to make a cape for them, but they really wanted to play "superheros" and a towel wrapped around their necks wasn't going to work. So I improvised and used something we all have in our houses.

I am going to show you how easy it is to whip up a quick cape for your child when you think you don't have the resources or the supplies to make one.

These directions outline how to <a href="http://www.howtomakeasuperherocape.com">make a no sew superhero cape</a>. This cape style is not intended to be given as a gift or to sell, however it'll satisfy your child meanwhile while you find the perfect cape pattern and materials.

Step 1: Iron the wrinkles and folds of a pillowcase.

Step 2: Apply fusible web or hot glue the top edge (open edge) of the pillowcase and fold over about 2" and press with iron.. If using hot glue, fold over top edge about 2.5" and press down. This will make a pocket to string your ribbon or elastic through. So take care you fold over enough to be able to bring ribbon through.

Step 3: Pin a safety pin to the end of the ribbon/string/shoe lace and push and pull through the casing of the pillowcase.

Step 4: Once you've completed the steps above, you can cut out your children's initials or come up with a fast design and glue onto the pillowcase cape. And there you have it... A pillowcase in less than 20 min... Maybe even ten minutes.

What's even better about this style of cape in comparison to most of the capes shown in my ebook is that your child can help you make this cape! It's a great family activity!

Happy Cape Making from Mariana Patrick!
