So you are one of the busy parents that do not have the time to buy a superhero costume for your children? Or simply running on tight budgets and a superhero theme party is coming up in school? Well, you can always get crafty and make one from scratch from everyday supplies you find at home. You can, also involve your children in this fun activity and have quality time while doing it. You can assign them to color in the shapes, cut the paper along the line you drew (if they are 5 and older) and so much more.

There’s always a bright side and even if you couldn’t find the time to visit the store or search at the wholesale costume suppliers stores or simply you cannot afford one of those perfectly stitched, with all sorts of embellishments and props that come with them, as they do not come cheap.

We are here to help you figure out a nice costume that you can put together with the help of things available at your home – ready to become a supermom or even a super-dad, by making cool costumes for your kids? Read away then, and we hope you can create a last-minute masterpiece.

Wonder Woman
Let’s start off by the amazing Wonder Woman. This costume is very easy to make, and your little girl will love it. I am sure she owns a swimsuit, and it will be perfect if it is in red color. If she does not own one, you can always go with a plain red t-shirt; something I am sure she has in her closet. Next, we need is a blue skirt and you can see some glitter on it to give it a little sparkle. How? Just place some glue at different spots on the skirt and sprinkle glitter on those areas and let it dry. If you’re not feeling the skirt, you can always get that blue tutu that has been resting in your storage box and put that on her. Perfect!

You know how Wonder Woman needs her accessories- for that you can cut the soft cardboards and wrap them in silver foil and attach with super glue; her cuffs are sorted. Now for her logo, you need yellow or golden construction paper and tape. Print out the wonder woman logo and attach it to the yellow construction paper (that is also of the same shape and size of the logo) and simply then place it onto the red shirt, swimsuit or

leotard (whatever your child is comfortable in).

Same for the tiara, you can follow the same steps but here you can crazy with the sparkle since this is the main part of the entire show.

Spider-Man
Spider-Man costume is also very easy to make, if you haven’t bought the spiderman shirt for your boy already, you must have a plain red shirt, possibly with full sleeves. Just take that and use a black permanent marker to make the patterns on the shirt and simply print out the Spiderman logo and use a construction paper at its back to give it a solid built, so it can easily be attached and doesn’t tear or come off when your child plays and have fun.

For the mask, you can take a thin red adult size beanie, cut holes for eyes and use black tape for the patterns. This way the entire face will be covered leaving breathing room and will be comfortable. Next, for the lower part, you can use blue tights or for something loser just regular blue trousers would do just fine. And if it's indoors, go with red socks; if not, simply wear socks on top of the shoes, and you are good to go.

Cat Woman

For this, you need black tights that all little girls own and a black full sleeve shirt (possibly skin tight or not too lose). Once the basic is done, you can pair some nice black booties your kid already has. To jazz up the costume, you can add a sparkly belt and can divert from the all-black attire Catwoman wears. You can add a silver belt or a nice necklace (since she did rob a jewelry store).

Now all your need is a nice cat-eye mask, and you can DIY it with black construction paper, glue and elastic bands or show laces to tie it nicely behind your head.
