]]> 56147 2 50 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/125532/50.jpg Measure your child First, measure the width of your child’s neck. Then, measure his back from shoulder to shoulder, as well as the distance from the back of his neck to the floor.

]]> 56148 3 60 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/125532/60.jpg Create the pattern Tape several pieces of newspaper together. Using your marker, a ruler, & your measurements, outline the cape pattern onto the paper. It’ll look like an inverted small trapezoid—the collar—on top of a larger trapezoid—the cape. Check that the top of the larger trapezoid reaches across your child’s shoulders, and that the collar goes around the neck.

]]> 56149 4 79 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/125532/79.jpg Cut out the cape Pin the two pieces of felt together, and pin the cape pattern to it. Carefully cut out the felt around the edge of the pattern.

]]> 56153 8 101 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/125532/101.jpg Iron the edging Cut enough edging to go around the perimeter of the cape. Use iron-on adhesive to attach it to the felt.

]]> 56154 9 109 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/125532/109.jpg Add the tie Cut two slits where the cape meets the collar, and lace the ribbon through them to make a cape-tie.

]]> 56155 10 115 Tip For a more secure cape-tie, attach Velcro to the ribbon.

]]> 56156 11 118 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/125532/118.jpg Decorate Decorate the cape with beads, buttons, sequins, ribbon, or pieces you cut from leftover felt. Attach them with fabric glue, and let them dry.

]]> 56157 12 127 Tip Use machine-washable iron-on letters to spell out a superhero name on the back of the cape.

]]> 56158 13 132 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/125532/132.jpg Save earth Tie the cape on your favorite superhero, and watch as he fights crime and saves the world!
