The children's school recently encouraged them to come in dressed
as Superheroes and donate £1 to a charity that supports Rohingya refugees. I didn’t like the idea of buying a costume to
wear for one day and in the past it has been a lot of fun thinking of and
making our own costumes.
This time round, I looked for the cheapest plain t-shirt I could
find and customised it with a simple logo – a lightning bolt. I whipped out the trusty answer to all homework
problems, spray piant, and cut a template out from plain card to spray through.
In hindsight I should have put more newspaper down around the template as the spray paint gets everywhere… but you live and you learn I suppose.
I paired the messy print customised t-shirts with plain
leggings in the same colour and a sparkly tutu.
Little Lady pointed out that light pink doesn’t go with burgundy. I pointed out the pink tutu’s were the
cheapest I could find.
The cape is a good old fashioned pillow case safety-pinned to the
t-shirt.
The girls really enjoyed wearing their costumes and enjoyed the
kind compliments from their teacher.
