When Christopher decided he wanted to have a Super Why birthday party, I knew I wanted each child to have a cape. I mean what kid doesn't like a good cape? Well, I went out with my mom to find some fabric to make them with but could not find any. That's when my mom came up with a brilliant idea of how to make them.



All you need is a vinyl table cloth, some acrylic paint, paint brushes, and scissors.

Step 1
Unfold the table cloth. It will already be creased into three sections. Cut along those lines to make three big strips.

Step 2
Cut the strips into small cape size rectangles. Make sure to cut them a little bit longer than you want them so that you can cut the strings.

Step 3
Cut 2 inch strips on either side of the cape, creating strings that can be ties or Velcro.

Step 4
Paint the desired emblem on the cape and let dry.

Wala, you have cheap and easy Super Hero capes.
