It’s a well known fact that capes are cool. Throw a bed sheet around your shoulders and you’re a superhero. So what better way of celebrating the first signs of spring here in the Land of Nord than by painting our own Wild Thing capes?
I put together a selection of simple icons and phrases and let the children chose the design they wanted to put on their cape. I drew the design on the fabric using pencil and then filled in the shape using fabric paint and a paint brush.
A great idea for a kids party, simple Halloween costume or just like us for a day out among the sand dunes running wild.
I used this simple sewing guide when creating the capes and this great tutorial for painting on fabric from Traveling mama.
What a great idea and way to fill those little wild imaginations….wild thing capes. Love it!!!
Thanks Dally
The kids had great fun, they are already coming up with ideas for new designs for our next adventure!
