My little hero turns 5!

Five years ago today my little superhero came into the world...


{Cape: thrifted, shirt and shorts: hand-me-down, mask: momma-made}

After much anticipation, Fletcher finally had his birthday party yesterday. He wanted it to be a combination of every superhero out there, so he wore his Incredibles shirt, Superman cape and one of the masks I made for him and his friends.

For the mask I used a pattern from Living Locurto, where you can find a ton of great ideas and downloadable freebies for superhero parties.

The black felt I used was a bit flimsy, so I cut two pieces of it for each mask and was then able to hide the ends of the head band in between the layers. I top stitched all around the outside and used Tacky Glue to glue the felt stars on. They were quick and easy to make. The kids loved them and I even caught a few adults wearing them too.
