Make Capes Out Of Plastic Tablecloths For A Birthday Party

Add other superhero accessories, like a cool mask or utility belt, to complete the costume.


With his cape floating out behind him as he runs, your child will feel like a superhero. Plastic tablecloths come in both deep and bright colors. In addition, the lightweight plastic used to make these disposable tablecloths is a perfect material for a child's cape. You can make these shapely capes in rich red for a superhero theme or deep purple for the royalty at a princess party. One tablecloth will make two or more capes.


Instructions


1. Cut a 3-foot square piece of plastic cloth from your disposable plastic tablecloth.


2. Lay the square down on a flat surface.


3. Starting at one end of the cape, draw a 1-foot-long line, 2 inches below the top edge. Repeat this step starting from the other side of the cape.


4. Cut along the lines. This will make a tie for each side of the cape.


5. Cut two diagonal lines. Start at the inside of the slit you made for the ties and cut down to the bottom corner of the cape. Repeat on the other side. This creates a cape that is wider at the bottom than at the top.


6. Gently tie the ties into a bow around the child's neck.
