The gloves should be elbow length, all black and should have three "fins" attached to the sides. You can also use velcro to attach the cape by putting velcro squares on the side of the cape and the shoulders of the shirt. You might not be able to make a completely strapless mask, although I think some transparent elastic would appear practically invisible from a distance. Another method is making a duct tape mask formed to fit your face . Do not coat the side that will attach to your face with duct tape. This way, the mask will stick to your face, I don't know for how long though, or if it will leave any marks after removal.
Shoot for full length leggings and a long-sleeve tee shirt. Most superheroes fully cover their skin to avoid being recognized.You can also use solid-colored clothing in place of spandex. If you have no boots for Halloween and are not planning to go outside, you can convert your sports into superhero boots. Tight high-end socks snugly stick to your legs, giving you a no-nonsense superhero look. You can get sports socks in different colors and designs, making it easy to match your superhero suits with your boots. Ensure you balance the superhero costume’s authenticity, comfort, and ease of use when selecting the material for your costume.
How to… Make an (Upcycled) Batman Costume
I had my wife help me with this because with several pieces needed more than just my hands. Hold them there for a minimum of a minute, until they have cooled enough to keep it's form. This was done without any template and totally free hand. Sorry I don't have a template for you.
Measure for the height of the cape by measuring from the shoulders down to the knees . To calculate the size of the cape, I measure across the shoulders and add a few inches to the width to allow for gathering the top slightly. That is the top width of your cape.
Materials
You can make pleats in the top of the cape by following the same idea as shown above, but gluing the pleats together with a few dabs of hot glue. To make things symmetrical, it’s easiest to fold the fabric in half lengthwise and then cut accordingly. I then add a few inches to either side for the bottom width measurement. Even if you don’t calculate the shape of your design and the size perfectly, it normally turns out fine anyway. Once you’ve peeled off the backing, you place the transfer in the desired location, cover it with parchment paper and then iron according to the instructions. To save yourself a few dollars and to earn bragging rights for making the whole costume, there are a few ways you can make the logo t-shirts yourself.
I made mine, trying different methods each time. If you already have a Batman or Superman t-shirt, though, you can save yourself a bit of time. This will be used for Batman’s back belt loop on the pants and utility belt. 14) Take two pieces of light blue felt , sew them together on two short ends with a 1/2 inch seam allowance.

Paint over those yellow areas with black fabric paint. We can take advantage of the freezer paper’s unusual ability to temporarily adhere to fabric when ironed onto it. The paper layer is the perfect place to draw out or print out our design while the plastic layer binds into the mesh of the fabric when heated. Yet, it’s easily removed once you are finished painting. The Batman logo was painted on using freezer paper and fabric paints.Freezer paper is great for helping to paint professional-looking designs onto fabric.
Rather than creating a perfect Thor costume replica, you can wear black leggings and a padded short-sleeved t-shirt, saving time, energy, and money. A visual representation of the Halloween costume you want is the most crucial step in creating an incredible costume. Whether creating original superhero costumes or imitating your favorite character, ensure you have a visual board of your desired costume. From the iconic wonder woman, Batman, and superman to Harley Quinn, superheroes are pretty buff. If you want to create a costume that instantly turns you into a toned superhero, you might need craft foam to add padding to your costume.
If you do not have time to buy a bolt of cloth, then just go ahead and make one yourself using a rectangular piece of fabric and sewing it together. However, make sure the two sides are straight and even in width. Wolverine's sharp claws are easy to create using tin foil and cardboard.Get rubber dish washing gloves and spray paint them the same color as your skin.
This will be used for Batman’s utility belt pouch flap . This will be used for Batman’s utility belt pouch . If you want your own Batman belt buckle, then go out and buy one that has the right dimensions . If you’ve never made anything before or are just starting out with sewing costumes, then I recommend that you practice as much as possible before beginning any project.
23) Take 1 strip of black thin velour fabric , sew them together on two short ends with a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Then iron down any creases seen from folding up. This will be used for Batman’s belt buckle loop . As you will be wearing this costume at a convention or performance event, it is best if you wear layers under it to make it more comfortable. I recommend wearing black fabric pants and a t-shirt since they are the same color as the actual costume underneath.
This will mark the spot the opposing piece of velcro needs to be sewn on. This is also why the adhesive velcro won't work... It just gums up the sewing machine. I tried double sided sticky velcro... This is where the tough decisions came.
The leg/thigh pieces were a bit more complicated. Once cut out, the designs need to be cut into them. These should come up just below the knee. There shouldn't be any sort of lace or strap on the boots. Batman doesn't have time to deal with that.
Placement is really important to make this look good. Make sure there is good placement before sewing. This is where some artistic ability is required.
Step 4: Cut Out Shapes
You can probably find a vinyl yellow belt at Goodwill or Salvation Army. Barring that, there's always the costume store, which may have a yellow Bat Utility Belt.
