Materials needed for each costume:
- 1/2 yard of felt
- I used felt material for all of the costumes. Felt is a material that I find easy to work with and comes in a wide variety of colours. It is used mostly for crafts and not generally recommended to be put in the washer or dryer. You could substitute a heavy cotton or muslin.
- Sheets of craft felt in colors needed to costume design (ie. 1 piece of yellow felt for Batman symbol)
- Fabric paint or markers
- Four 12″ pieces of ribbon
- Elastic 14″ of 1/4″
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Glue sticks
- Optional sewing machine and accessories

1. Cut a piece of felt 14″ x 36″. Next cut an oval in the centre 6″ x 4″. Now cut a slit from the centre of the oval, 4″ down the back of the costume. Be sure to try it on and make sure that it fits over the head of the child.

These no sew DIY Superhero costumes are quick and easy to make!
It seems like just yesterday that I was bringing my twin boys home on Halloween, fast forward a few years and they are turning five and growing into the most wonderful little individuals who clearly need superhero costumes!
Materials
- 1/2 yard of felt
- Sheets of craft felt in colors needed to costume design (ie. 1 piece of yellow felt for Batman symbol)
- Fabric paint or markers
- Four 12″ pieces of ribbon
- Elastic 14″ of 1/4″
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Glue sticks
Instructions
1. Cut a piece of felt 14″ x 36″. Next cut an oval in the centre 6″ x 4″. Now cut a slit from the centre of the oval, 4″ down the back of the costume. Be sure to try it on and make sure that it fits over the head of the child.
2. Cut out the super hero logo and/or bodysuit pattern. Glue to the front of the costume. Attach the pieces of ribbon to the sides of the costume, one ribbon on each side of the front and back, 8″ from the top shoulder of the costume. I sewed the ribbon on for extra support. For a no sew option simply cut a small hole in the felt and tie the ribbon through it.

great job (as usual)! those turned out awesome! …loved the optimus prime too – that turned out fantabulous!! cant wait for party day!
Adorable … Luke would just love those! I’m pinning!
what a great idea and fun party favors!
You are totally a super mom! Pinning now!
You are forever outdoing yourself, I swear! These are each amazing- I love how they tie at the sides! My boys aren’t super heroes for Halloween, but these would be awesome for cold winter day fun inside :) You rock, yet again, Heather :)
These are fantastic & sure to be a hit with the party goers. Thanks for the link Heather!
Very, very clever! Well done!
Also, for another no-sew option, fleece does not fray, so you could use it the same way and not hem it, and it would be more washable. But then, these are so easy, it’s worth taking a chance on them not being washed!

Omg they’re so cool! Btw do you kmow how to make villan costumes as well for example Joker from Batman?
Thank you so much for this tutorial! My kids want to be Wolverine & Spider-Man for Halloween, and I was hoping to make them myself…without sewing. This is perfect. I’m a big fan of “sewing” with my hot glue gun, so this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again!
These are awesome! I love them! And your princesses ones too!
your stuff is ridiculously cute! I am going to link my website to some of your costumes for DIY suggestions for Halloween. My site is http://www.babybearhugs.com if you don’t want me to do this/don’t like something about the way I post it please let me know. I also love your unicorn and found it on pinterest!
I love how colorful and bold these are! I linked this post to my costume website, thecostumeresource.com, because I am always looking for boy costume ideas. I have all girls, so my mind doesn’t work as well in boy mode…:) But thank you also for showing the girl super hero costumes you made–I have a tom girl of my own that would be thrilled with one of those!
