batman party invitation - Super Hero Birthday PartyA Superhero Birthday Party is always a hit with little boys. My son was a slightly obsessed with Batman a while back… so I know how much fun this party theme can be!

Check out this awesome Superhero Birthday Party Idea for DIY Capes and Masks by my friend Jenn Kirk at Ambrosia Girl. Scroll down for FREE party printables she made just for Living Locurto readers!

Superhero Cape Decorating

You need a super craft for a superhero party! For a fun party activity, Jenn had a cape decorating workshop.

Each child was given a package that included a pre cut black cape, felt mask, and a stencil of their initial to trace onto felt.

Tables were stocked with glue, extra colors of felt, string, scissors and foam shapes for decorating capes. After the decorating was over, parents tied the capes and masks on the kids and they instantly became super!!

    Thanks for all your ideas and templates… very helpful in planning my sons combined 4&5th birthday party.

  2. lani says

    just wanted to say thank you for sharing your ideas and templates! this has been such a help! My DAUGHTER wanted a superhero party (AVENGERS LOVER!) and I am clueless as to ideas! This really got my creative juices flowing! thanks again!

  4. heather says

    Thank you sooOOoo much for these printables! Need these for my niece’s Batman bday party. She is turning 5 and this will help to make it a great day for her!

  5. lela bloom says

    You can make capes out of old/new T-shirts by leaving the neck ring to go over the head, and in front of the neck, while cutting everything else away except the back piece.

  7. Leslie says

    Thank you for the superhero mask templates! This just made our party!! I cut out a bunch of mask peices and let them design their own masks with stars, hearts, flowers, lightening bolts, etc. AWESOME! 🙂

  10. Lynne says

    Would love a little info about these. Am having a superhero birthday party in a couple of weeks and am planning on making capes for the kids. What is the material here for the cape? The one pic where they are being decorated looks like the material used was a no sew item??? Taht would be WONDERFUL to find out! Thanks!!

  11. Elizabeth says

    Hello, wonderful printables! I love them all! I am having trouble downloading the super hero templates. I’m not sure if this one is even included because it is not mentioned, but do you have the stencil templates? If so, could you please send them to me. Thanks

  12. Amy says

    @shanmcclam,
    This party was by my friend, Jen. To me, it doesn’t look like felt capes, but a t-shirt type of fabric. I would use fabric glue for the felt letters. Punch holes in the masks and use elastic string.

  13. shanmcclam says

    I am asking the same question, what material did you use for the capes. 1. The cape template doesn’t seem to be working. Could you send it to me please?
    2. Are your capes made of felt?
    3. How did you attach the emblems/letters on to the capes so the kids could wear them immediately?
    4. What did you use to keep the masks on the kids?
    please email me [email protected]

  14. Jacquie says

    LoveLoveLove this!! I want to do a SuperHero themed birthday party for my son’s 4th birthday party… I had a couple of questions, kinda the same as everyone else but I didn’t see the answers…
    1. What fabric did you use for the capes?
    2. What did you use to glue/adhere the stuff to the capes so that they could use them right away?
    3. I couldn’t get the template to come up can you send them to me??

    Thanks

  15. Stephanie says

    I am planning a Super hero party form my son. I love the capes, but can’t seem to find the template to download, can you send it to me? Thanks!

  16. Barbara says

    Where did you buy the felt rectangles?
    Do you have the template for the back of the cape?

  17. Lisa Thakkar says

    I’m planning a superhero party for my almost 4 yr old son – yours looks like so much fun! I have a few questions, though:
    1. The cape template doesn’t seem to be working. Could you send it to me please?
    2. Are your capes made of felt?
    3. How did you attach the emblems/letters on to the capes so the kids could wear them immediately?
    4. What did you use to keep the masks on the kids?

    Thank you, thank you!!

  24. Denis Ranta says

    I have read a few good stuff hereDefinitely price bookmarking for revisitingI wonder how much attempt you set to create this kind of great informative website.

  25. Janine says

    Hi!

    Thanks!
    Janine

  26. Shannan says

    I love your ideas. My son is turning four and decided he wants a Batman birthday party. I had been looking all over the internet for kids masks to buy, but I love your ideas! Can’t wait to see what else this website has to offer!

    Thanks for all the great ideas!

  27. Stephanie says

    I love your ideas & greatly appreciate you sharing them.My son wants a Power Ranger party.So this is info. is helpful.Thank you :]

  28. Tammie Allegro says

    I know I am late to this party, but I love these. My 16 year old daughter is graduating from High School and she wants a Batman themed graduation party. I cannot wait to use some of these ideas. A friend from work designed her invitations. I think it is going to be such an awesome party.

    Thanks for sharing these printables. They are perfect!

  30. Amy says

    This is just what I was looking for! How did the kids stick the felt letters to their capes? Is that adhesive backed felt squares? If so, where can I find it? Do they have it at Michael’s? Also, what type of fabric did you use for the capes? Thanks for your help. I am not a subscribed member, so if you wouldn’t mind sending a reply to me at amy_breedlove at msn dot com

  31. Nikki says

    What did you use to tie the capes? Velcro? Did you sew it on? LOVE LOVE LOVE these ideas! My little superhero is s o excited about his third birthday party!

  35. Summer Camps says

    Best you should make changes to the page name title Super Hero Birthday Party | Living Locurto – FREE Printables, recipes, party ideas and crafts. to something more specific for your subject you write. I loved the post yet.

  36. Ara Rigdon says

    I LOVE THIS and am planning my 4yr old super-hero-fanatic’s b-day party, as i post this so any help is greatly appreciated. I am totally using ALL these ideas but what fabric did you use? It looks like you did not have to finish the edges with a stitch. That would make the capes sooooo much less work for me. And I cant seem to get the printable of the cape?

  37. heather says

    Hi! My son wants a super hero party in July and I want to make about 15 capes. What material did you use? and How did you make them? All the patterns or ideas that I have seen so far seem very complicated.

  38. Megan Morrison says

    How did you make the capes and with what kind of fabric? They are perfect and have such simple lines. All the other ones I have seen look way more complex.

  44. Bobbie says

    I just showed this to my son and we both love the idea! We will be doing this idea for his next birthday ~ he’ll be 6! Thanks! 🙂

  45. faye says

  51. Heather says

    I love your invitation. I am having a Superhero party for my sons. Thank you for putting your invite up to print. Unfortunately I have to change the grammar since its for two boys. Is there a site that you got this from that I may be able to download directly to make appropriate changes? Thank you for your help and awesome ideas!

  53. wide open spaces says

  54. Elaine Keane says

    Love your party ideas! I plan on making the capes for my son’s super hero party. How did you attach the felt cut outs to the capes? Thanks for the inspiration!

  55. MGN says

    Thanks! This is fabulous. My twin boys will be 5 this spring and want a super hero party. I can’t wait for the capes and masks. Any suggestions for the cape material? I suppose something that won’t need to be stitched around the edges.

  60. Kendra @ My Insanity says

    Awesome, Amy! I love your cake! Especially the custom billboard–perfect! And I’m so excited about the cape download! My sister is planning a superman party for her son this month and I was telling her to do the capes, but didn’t have a pattern for her. I’m going to send her here! Thanks for being my first party guest! You’re the best!

    Amy,

    Those are some great ideas!! And how creative of you to come up with that cake and all the decorations. My daughter just had her 6th birthday and daddy was totally in charge of what happened. Go to this link and tell me how you think I did. Its always nice to ask a fellow Texan. Dont forget to look at all the pics, they’re the best part!
