First Fathers Day


This Father's Day is extra special because its Z's first Father's Day for her Daddy and Abuelo! I made Zara a cape out of an old T-Shirt so that she can be a superhero just like Daddy! 


All you need is an old big T-Shirt any color, scissors, felt, glue gun, felt glue (optional), marker or pen, and stencils (optional). Velcro


First, you cut of the sleeves. 

Next, you cut down the sides so that you can open it up like this. 


Next you cut around the neck so that your T-shirt looks like this. Make sure to leave some if the shoulder area. 


Next you cut the sides of your cape until you have the cut you desire and cut length if needed. 


Next you cut the neck area and measure your child's neck . You can then glue Velcro to it. 


Next you cut any shape using a piece a felt I chose a heart. You can also do triangle, square, etc.. 


Next you cut your child's initial with another piece of color felt. I used a stencil   But you can freehand it. 

I made it in pink but then changed my mind as usual... 

Last you can add any other embellishments. I added a bow because Z always wears her bows. I also made her a matching headband . 

And there you go! We made it for our Fathers Day theme "Super Heroes". 



We made daddy a big card with Zara's hand prints. 


Then took daddy and Abuelo for a SUPER lunch date! 


We decided to make Abuelo a candy card.
