super easy super cape

My awesome friend from college sent me this great idea for a super hero cape. I think you could make one in less than 5 minutes. Now THAT is my kind of craft! You'll need an old T-shirt (in the color of your favorite superhero, of course) and some scissors. Here's what she says:

The best part is that it can be a no sew project.  I love those.

I left the round collar in tact.  Using sharp scissors, I cut a triangle shape from the shirt.  The collar being the top of the triangle, cutting down where the shirt would  fall on the shoulder blades out towards where the shirt rubs between the hips and the arms.  So the child can just slip the collar on over his head and the cape hangs behind.  Whoala!

Cardboard Tube fun!

I came across these cute little TP roll guys at Red Ted Art's blog. Very cute. Even better- she has an e-book with 14 ideas of things to do with cardboard tubes! You can check it out here. It looks really fun!
