Do you already feel the world is a safer place just by looking at this photo? I sure do.
Yup. The safety of the world is in good hands. The good hands of the cutest Superhero in existence.
I have previously shared this ridiculously adorable...er..I mean...manly Superhero in Training T-shirt.
Today I want to add a couple of necessary accessories for the superhero ensemble...yes I realize a real superhero probably wouldn't say ensemble. They would probably say crime fighting gear, or something like that.
Anyway you say it...here is a little DIY on how to make a few pretty awesome crime-fighting-approved accessories.
First, we have a set of Superhero Crime Fighting Cuffs.
You need felt and velcro. Cut two rectangles measuring 4" by the circumference of your child's wrist plus 2" from one color. Also cut two rectangles measuring the determined width by 1". Cut a piece of velcro measuring 2 1/2".
Sew the skinnier strip onto the center of two of the larger rectangle.
Sew the velcro on one of the striped rectangles and one of the plain ones. Sew on opposite ends. Repeat with the other set.
Sew the striped rectangle to the plain one. The velcro facing out on each side.
Cuffs are done and ready to be worn.
All we need now to finish off the ensemble...er...crime fighting gear...is a Superhero Identity Hiding Mask.
To make the mask you just need the Superhero Mask Template some felt and some elastic.
Cut out two pieces of felt in the shape of the face mask.
To sew the eye holes, I keep the template pinned to the two pieces of felt. Then I sew on the inside of each eye hole in the template.
Once the eye holes are sewn in, you can remove the template.
Measure a piece of elastic that will allow the mask to snugly fit your supers head and add an inch.
Pin one edge of the elastic between the layers of the mask on one side. Then pin the other end on the other side.
Sew around the outside edges of the mask, securing the two layers together and securing the elastic in place.
The last thing that needs to be done is to cut out the eye holes.
With mask and cuffs in place, our Superhero is ready to save the world.
Or at leas the front porch.
Superhero crime fighting gear that any Super would be proud to wear.
I hope your Supers enjoy them as much as my Supers do.
