My daughter has been the owner of the coveted super cape for quiet a while now. She got it at Christmas two years ago and lately my son gets very jealous when the super cape comes out and he doesn't have one to wear as well.
So guess what my little man got for his birthday last month?
His very own super cape! He is in love of course.
(And I'm in love with my super cute Super-duo.)
And when he gets tired of being Super Man we can just flip it over and instantly he's Batman. Perfect. Gotta love the reversible super capes!
And I always make them a little on the big side since super capes don't tire quickly in this house. They're a favorite.
My daughters has a reversible super girl/princess cape, but I think I've only seen her use the princess side once. She was pretty jealous that her brother got Batman. If only I'd know way-back-when I would have made hers with Bat-Girl. Rats.
I used this great tutorial over at Puking Patilles.
And because I love to share, I'm providing my templates below in case you're dying to make one too. They are so loved in this house.

Now we're all ready to go out and save the world . . .
I'm linking to these parties this week.
When I clicked to see the templates they all say
