Making a Superhero Cape

Today's tutorial is on making a superhero cape.

As usual, it is pretty simple and quick.

Material needed:

1. Red Cloth

2. Template printout for cape

http://www.kayajoydesigns.com/happy-sewing-les-monsieurs-reversible-cape/

3. Felt (3 colours)

4. Scissors

5. Double sided tape or Fabric Glue

First of all, place the cape template on the red cloth.

Mark the outline of the template on the red cloth, then cut it out.

Here is the cut out cape.

Then, design your own superhero logo.

I made a The Incredible's logo.

Lastly, I stick the velcro tape at the neck area.

And it's all done.

Look at this, the creative cape made by this little boy! =)

Have fun at the party!

The whole family is going out for a trip!

Pasta Necklace

Text and Image by POPPY

Two weeks ago, we organised a craft session for the little kids at a party.

We made Pasta Necklace!

Material needed:

1. 15 Penne Pasta

2. String

3. Brush

4. Paint

The older kids started to paint the penne using their favourite colours.

While the younger kids just submerge the penne into the watery paint.

Then, we set the colourful penne aside, wait until they dry.

Lastly, connect all the penne with a colourful string.

It was a very fun session for the kids. 

They dressed up themselves with the beautiful necklace,

and some kids even gave it to their mom as a present.

It was fun for the parents too 

because they got to spend the "adult times" with their adult friends at the party

while the kids were occupying themselves in painting.  :P
