Superhero Birthday Party

This past weekend we were invited to a superhero birthday party.  It has been awhile since I have got my crafting on, so I decided that  I would make our costumes for the party.  I had so much fun making our costumes.  Stop on over Lavendar's Blue Designs for step by step instructions...it is SUPER easy and opens up a whole new world of cute t-shirts for your family to wear!

First, I cut my stencil out of freezer paper. "HH" stands for "Hootie Hoos"

Then I ironed the freezer paper so it would stick to the shirt and seal the edges

 

Next, I painted using soft fabric paint.  Soft paint is the key. I added 2 coats of paint, so I couldn't see t-shirt color.

Then I had to wait...this was the hardest part!!

The owl fabric is what I used to make our capes

Then he added the shirt and cape

I love this Baby Owlet

Feeling like a superhero flying

Ever diligent. Every aware.  Daddy Hootie is there.

She melts my heart

Need to get refueled to keep on being a superhero

We had such a fun time celebrating our friend's birthday.  I am very blessed to have a husband who is willing to create fun memories for our children.  So thankful that I have a family that goes along with my crazy ideas.
