Super Buddies Super Hero Capes

These Super Buddies super hero capes are part of a sponsored post for Blueprint Social and Disney.

My three youngest kids love to watch a show and then scrounge around in our dress-up box, finding costumes so they can act out whatever they watched.  When we recently watched Disney Super Buddies {from the creators of Disney Buddies}, I knew they’d love to dress up like those adorable dogs so I surprised them with some Super Buddies capes.

My kiddos love the Disney Buddies movies and watch them over and over.  Super Buddies {available on a Blu-Ray Combo Pack August 27th} was no different.  They can’t resist those adorable pups!

Let me show you how I made these simple {and almost no-sew} super hero capes for my Super Buddies fans.  They couldn’t be easier. For each cape, you’ll need a piece of fleece the length of your child’s back.  Fold it in half and cut a shape like the one  you see below.  It doesn’t have to be perfect.  Fleece is forgiving and you can’t really mess it up even if your shape is a bit different.

Sew two pieces of velcro to the tabs that fit around the neck and the cape is finished.  See?  I told you it was super simple!

To make a B-Dawg mask {after all, as the Super Buddies will tell you, a super hero must always conceal his identity to protect the ones he loves}, I used a piece of leather-looking vinyl, cut it in a mask shape and cut out eye holes {hold it up to your child’s face to be sure the eyeholes are in the right spot}.  Edgestitch around the mask, catching the elastic {measured to fit your child’s head} at each side.

You can add a logo to the back of the cape {like I did on these orange capes} or leave them plain.

Either way, they’ll be a hit with your little super heroes!

To complete the Super Buddies costumes, you just need one more touch: glow stick necklaces to wear around their necks.

My little guys have had so much fun watching the movie and acting out Super Buddies …

… and you can get ready for an epic tail too!  Grab the Super Buddies movie on a Blu-Ray combo pack starting on August 27th and enjoy this funny and sweet story that’s perfect for the whole family!
