With a week left of school, we’ve been gearing up for an EPIC summer!  With the new DreamWorks’ animated comedy “Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie” in theaters, I thought it would be fun to make DIY Superhero Capes to celebrate!

“Captain Underpants – The First Epic Movie” came out in theaters on June 2. That’s was our first full weekend of summer, and we couldn’t wait to see it!  Even more exciting, one of our favorite drinks, Tampico, partnered with DreamWorks for the Captain Underpants movie, so we bought a few gallons of the drink and got to making our epic costumes!

These DIY costumes are so easy, you just need an old t-shirt, a pair of scissors and some underwear!  It’s definitely something you can make on a whim – right when your child says “I’m bored” or “There’s nothing to do!” (We all know those words will come up over the summer break at some point.)

DIY Captain Underpants T-Shirt Cape

We found one of my older son’s old 5K run t-shirts, and thought it would be perfect for my younger son.  You will want a shirt that isn’t too small, and make sure it’s good on the length.  I like to use a shirt that currently fits or one a size bigger.  Don’t worry that the shirt has a design on it or that it’s wrinkled.  This t-shirt cape is so easy; you don’t even need to iron it first.

  • Start by laying the shirt flat, so you can cut both side “seams” of the shirt.  (step 1)  
  • Do this on both sides of the shirt, going right up the side fold/seam, trying to stay as straight as possible.  (step 2)
  • When you’ve cut both side seams, lay the shirt flat, to “open” it up. (step 3)
  • For the neck line, start from the shoulder and gradually cut toward the shirt collar.  (See picture below.  You can also draw this on beforehand, if it helps.)

That’s it! You can make this superhero t-shirt cape in about 2 minutes!  Pour your child a cup of Tampico and they can enjoy it while Mom makes the costume!
