My son is going through the superhero phase. So far we have made Superhero Capes, Superhero T-shirts and held a Superhero Party. He wanted a Captain America shield, so we improvised with recycling a lid and made one!
We reused a large plastic lid for the shield, together with a pipecleaner as handle:
I made two holes to put the pipecleaner through for the handle:
Then, I used Sharpies to colour it: starting with the blue circle, then the red in near and outer circle, leaver the white part as is. I cut a white star from sticker paper:
The pipecleaner handle did not hold, so hubby fixed it up with a duct tape handle. Much better actually because now the star looks better too(without the hump):
He loves his shield, that sometimes with his Superman cape makes him the coolest superhero in our house!
Perfect image size to share to Fabebook or Instagram(thank you!)
I love this! My son who is 6 love super heros and loves to dress up almost every day. Thanks for the tutorial 🙂
