Just in time for Halloween, the quickest and easiest Batman (or Batgirl) costume.
What you'll need:
- Computer and printer
- Scissors
- A black shirt of any type
- Yellow chalk
To make the matching mask you'll need black felt and some elastic or ribbon, preferably black. I used a sewing machine but it could be sewn by hand as well.
I googled "batman mask template" and came across this one from Laura's Crafty Life.com.
I corrected the size to fit my particular superhero (I used the same template for the mask) and hit print.
Next I simply held the cut out on the shirt and used yellow chalk to outline it in bright streaks moving outward from the paper to the fabric.
Be sure to spray with an ample amount of hairspray to set the chalk.
Let the hairspray dry before pulling on the shirt.
Nothing to it!
MASK:
The mask is slightly more complicated. I used the same template for both projects. I used the chalk exactly as I did to make the symbol on the shirt only this time I used black felt.
Make two of these, pin them back to back and sew around all the edges.
Add some ribbon or elastic to complete your mask.
To the Batmobile!
