I made these ultra-simple capes for my preschool kids when we were learning about letter S - for Super Heroes. :) Star glasses are from Walmart's party section.
For capes:
sparkly fabric (got mine at Walmart for like $2/yard)
thread
Cut rectangles out of fabric. Any size you want. Cut off the selvaged edges. Use the selvaged edges for the tie - just roll shut and sew. Then sew to a small side of the rectangles. If you don't want to have to tie them on, then add a small piece of velcro to each end of the tie piece. I didn't even hem this fabric. We've had 'em over a year and no fraying at all. It's great! And the fabric "flows in the wind" really well when the kids are running around!
