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.
  •  3. Paint details onto each costume using fabric paint. 4. Cut out pieces for mask and gauntlet.  Glue or sew together.
