Your child is a SUPER kid
so now, he can have his own
Super Cape!
You can use an old adult t-shirt
as long as the back is plain.
Light color works best!
You can let your child decorate the back
with markers.
You can use it that way,
OR
for really fun effects, grab some rubbing alcohol.
You can make a tie-dye effect using
rubbing alcohol.
You can do it over a cup, for less mess,
or just on a piece of newspaper.
The cape is made from the back of the shirt
and the collar.
So cut up the side and over the shoulder seam
then down in front of the collar.
You can write your child's name
and let them decorate as he wants.
You can make less mess by stretching the design
over a cup or bowl with a rubber band.
Use a straw to drop rubbing alcohol by drops
in the middle of the design.
As the alcohol spreads, it draws the ink out, too.
If you keep drops in the center, the
ink will go out,
making a fun design.
Or, just put down newspaper and
drip the alcohol along each letter.
Let your cape dry
and tumble dry on high for a bit to set the ink.
You can cut the neck opening
and use stick on velcro
to prevent choking hazards.
