I customized this cape for Ella to wear to a superhero themed birthday party. What You Need: Plain cape (I found this one at Michael's in one of the bins. It was like $3), Silver thread, Felt. Because the cape was red, I chose to go the All American route so I chose white and blue felt for the "stars" and the letter "E". I pulled a star pattern from my applique stash and traced it on the back side of the felt and cut them out with heavier scissors. I then placed and pinned the largest star in the middle of the cape and pinned the white E within the star. Then I placed and pinned the smaller stars around the E star on the cape. Once I got the stars placed how I liked them, I sewed them all on with silver thread and hemmed the cape so that she wouldn't trip on it. LOVE!
