Make Your Own Easy Superhero Costume

Your kids will love wearing this easy superhero costume to trick or treat this Halloween. It’s perfect for a superhero party too.

Flynn wanted to be a superhero for Halloween. He wanted to be Spiderman, however, my lack of skills and time available was not quite going to fit in with that plan. We had a look at superhero costumes online and he decided he just wanted a cape and mask instead.

Easy superhero costume

Supplies

• Leggings (I found these thick green ones at Gymboree)
• Plain t-shirt
• Plain shoes
• Pleather in black, green and silver croc
• Solid Alova Caviar fabric (it looks a little like suede) – or any fabric that doesn’t fray and will hang
• Black foam mask
• Black lanyard cord
• Strong fabric glue
• Needle and black thread

Instructions

You can make the logo using PicMonkey or Canva and then print it out to use as a template. Place the template on the pleather and cut two identical logos, and then glue your logos together.

Measure the length of the cape by having the child turn around and use a measuring tape to get the desired length. Place the fabric for the cap on the ground and cut it into the shape of a cape. Fold over the top edge of the cap and stitch it in place leaving the ends open to thread the lanyard cord through. Glue the logo to the back of the cape and set it aside to dry.

Glue the second logo to the front of the t-shirt.

Using the black foam mask as a guide, trace around it on paper and then reduce the size by at least 5mm all around. Use that as a template to cut out the green pleather piece, and then glue it over the top of the black foam mask.
