No Sew Superhero Cuffs!


What is a superhero kit without cuffs they can use to call in for back up? The more I make, the more I see how well their kits are coming together and I'm more and more excited (probably too excited) for them to open the kits on Christmas! While making these, I meant to take more pictures so you guys could visualize the steps, but I got so into it that by the time I realized I hadn't, it was too late :/ But I'll do my best to explain.

Here's what you need:

1. 9" x 12" felt sheets in the colors above
2. THIS cuff template
3. Scissors
4. Hot Glue Gun
5. Stick on Velcro (The ones I found were big, so I just cut them the size I wanted)
 
 
 
So, as said before, I'm sticking with the same four superheroes as I used for the capes and the masks in my previous tutorials (Batman, Superman, Spiderman, and Captain America). Making these was relatively simple. I used the template above from SeeKateSew's blog and cut out eight cuffs (2 per child) from four different colors that matched the rest of the costumes. Then, I began cutting the "screen" and "buttons" that went with each cuff. I used Hot glue to glue those on and the flaps on just one side (after decorating them) so they can easily flip it open when needed. When it was all dried and glued together, I put the Velcro on and bam!
