Kids Cape

Here I go, this is my first post for my new blog. I wanted to create a blog about some of my crafty projects.

I made this cape for Mr. E, it was super easy, and turned out pretty cute.

• First I took a piece of fabric and cut it to the size of my son. 

• I left the edges raw, so it gave it a funky vintage look (and because it was easy)

• I did a stencil of the letters on freezer paper.

• I cut it out, then positioned it how I wanted on the fabric for the cape.

• I then ironed it (lifting the iron up and down).

• I put a piece of cardboard under the fabric so my paint wouldn't go through.

• I then mixed my acrylic paint with my fabric Medium and painted it on the fabric (It took several coats of paint).

• I peeled the freezer paper off.

• I let it dry completely.

• After it was dry I put a piece on fabric on where I painted and ironed it. (it prevents fading in the wash)

• I attached some velcro at the top.

...and Voila, DONE!
