Brynlee has a whole bin full of fun dress-up clothes- princess dresses, fluffy skirts, tiaras, glass slippers . . . the works. Mason has a cowboy hat (poor kid!). So when I saw these easy capes, I knew that I needed to make one for Mason.
Of course Brynlee wanted one too . . . and of course it needed a princess crown.I found the tutorial here.
It is easy to follow and has great pictures. You can't go wrong!
I added my own letters and pictures with scraps of felt and I glued them on with my glue gun. I made both capes in about 30 minutes . . . and the kids wore them for the rest of the day!Linking to these parties . . .
I love what you did with the appliques! I have yet to make a girls' cape, this one is adorable! I'd love it if you added it to The Southern Institute flickr page...and you can link this post up with Creative Me Monday too (the link is open all week!)!

Adorable! I have two super heroes in my house too! My son went to a party once where he got to decorate his own cape - a big hit.
