How To Make It
Superman Emblem
-
Create
a Superman emblem (see photo) on paper using the
pencil and ruler.
-
Cut
out the emblem.
-
Trace
the emblem twice on red fabric or felt. Cut out
both emblems. Note: Second emblem is for use on
the cape.
-
Iron-on
Wonder-Under to backside of emblems. Let cool.
-
Remove
paper backing.
-
Iron-on
to yellow fabric or felt. Let cool.
-
Cut
around outside of emblems.
-
I
appliqued around edges for durability.
-
I
safety pinned the emblem to his sweatshirt so he
could use the shirt after Halloween and I could
save the "S" for a future child
without putting size limitations on the costume.
Cape:
My first
thought when doing the cape was to make it long. I
did this so that he could continue to use it when he
got older. He was three in the photo and now at
almost six it still fits well.
Note:
There's a tie around the collar of the cape. YES
collar. I put a 2 inch collar so that the cape
would stay up on his shoulders and not sag and
hang from his throat. If I had it to do over I
would extend the collar into the ties and use
Velcro. That way if someone pulled on the back of
the cape and it would come apart easily and not
choke anyone. We've had no problems in that area
though.
-
Cut
out a piece of red fabric or felt to use for the
cape. Make the fabric to fit from the outside
edge of the shoulder to the opposite edge of the
shoulder and to the length desired. Be sure to
add the 2" collar.
-
Sew
the second emblem on the cape.
-
Sew
Velcro on the ties of the cape.
Snow
Boots:
-
I
took his snow boots and laid them on red fabric.
I traced about 3/4 of an inch away and about 3
inches taller.
-
Cut
out 4 of this pattern.
-
Match
two pieces together and sew the sides only.
-
I
clipped the curves (very important) and then put
them over the boot, folding the extended top
down into the inside of the boot once it was on
his foot.
