Do you have some mini superheros running around your home? Then you know the basic issues with those capes.
You can improvise by tying a blanket around their neck.
Get ready to hear, “Mom, could you tie it again?”
You can splurge on Velcro-attached capes, or get crafty and sew one yourself.
Have fun pulling that Velcro off your laundry.
Here’s what I came up with this afternoon. All I needed was an old T-shirt and scissors.
Cut from the bottom of the shirt up to the collar, forming a rough triangle.
Carefully snip around the collar.
Done.
This is a cape that they can put on and take off by themselves, and has no special washing instructions.
I hacked up the front of the shirt to make cleaning rags, so this old T-shirt now has two uses.
Have fun and make one for yourself!
Coffee to Compost 
Well, this brings back memories. Our kids are in their twenties now, but there was a time when they had a whole cape wardrobe: red superman capes, black batman capes, and I can’t remember what else. Our older son used to run from one end of the apartment to the other in his Superman cape, first shouting: “Up, up, and away!” And then on the return trip: “Down, down, I’m coming back!”
Oh how fun! There’s just something about capes that’s great for the imagination.
Nice post! Haven’t seen you around my blog in awhile, what’s up? Come and visit me when you get a chance!
