Mask

The main task of any hero is to keep the secret of his personality. Otherwise, villains can get to him and his family in ordinary life. There are several techniques for creating a mask for a superhero costume for a boy.

1. The simplest material is paper. Attach a cardboard or thick paper to the face of the child and carefully mark the points for the eyes and nose on it with a pencil. After that, cut out the holes and create a shape for the nose. At the edges of the sheet, prepare holes for the threads, which you will attach the mask to the head.
2. Foil can also become a good material if you need a superhero. Suit for a boy with his own hands from this material will not do, but it can turn out a wonderful mask. Take three sheets of foil and fold them together. Between the layers can smudge with clay, so that the future mask better kept the shape. Attach the resulting "cake" to the face so tightly that you can identify all the features. Mark the eyes with a felt-tip pen, and then cut them out. To keep the mask, you can use the tape, and to hold the form, hold it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
3. Inflate a balloon the size of a child's head. Then cut the paper in small strips. Glue the balloon in random order so that the strips overlap each other, and then allow to dry. After that gently prick the ball with a needle at the base and cut the paper piece with scissors on 2 halves. Give the resulting hemisphere shape of the face, cut out the eyes and nose.

Cloak

Despite the fact that the cloak is the simplest element, the superhero costumes for boys can not do without this attribute. You can make it from an ordinary old sheet or by buying a rectangular cut of fabric in the store.

1. Attach it to the shoulders and mark the places from which it will fall.
2. Turn the rectangle of the fabric into a trapezoid, based on the resulting points.
3. Wrap the very edge of the cloak so that you can insert the string.
4. If you used a sheet as a base, you can sew a second layer of fabric with a more acceptable pattern or shade.
5. Create a pattern and use a different cloth. Sew it to the cloak or glue it on a double-sided scotch.

Footwear

It will be ideal if you make a superhero costume for a boy, you can still find him suitable shoes. Suitable is the usual rubber boots or high socks, if the child will only walk around the house. If they are not at hand, then you can use the following method.

1. We will make "shoe covers". To do this, take the polyethylene and begin to wrap it around the leg to the shin directly over the street shoes.
2. Then glue the polyethylene with colored electrical tape. Be careful not to overtighten your leg.
3. Now you are ready for walks. If you need to use the "boots" several times, gently cut them from the back of the shin and pull out the leg. Now at any time you can insert it back.

Torso

This is the main part that is needed to make a superhero costume for a boy. In cheaper versions, you can use a regular turtleneck bought in the store. If you do not want to spoil clothes with embroidered patterns, using double-sided scotch will be a salvation. For pants is best to use leggings, the benefit of that they are now inexpensive.

To create a more expensive option, you will have to work hard and find clothes made from spandex. This elastic fabric is the best suited for creating a tight-fitting heroic costume.

Attributes

The most important thing in any superhero is his recognizability. And what is the most recognizable in any character? Of course, his weapons. Here for any parent will be the main assistant cardboard. Here are a few examples.

1. "Captain America". To recreate the image of this hero, you need a shield. Cut out a circle of cardboard and glue it or paint it in the right colors. To keep it, you can use an old rubber wristband. Cut it in half and use a stapler to attach it to the back of the shield. Now the child can put his hand in it and calmly use the liberated brush.
2. Blades of Wolverine can also be cut out of cardboard. Then take the usual rubber glove, which used cleaners for washing dishes or floors caustically. Paint gloves in a "solid" color and use a thermo-pistol to secure the blades between the fingers.
3. Batman's belt with its "lotion" can be created from any old belt, simply sewing to it additional pockets for gadgets and painted black.

That's all. As you can see, the suits of superheroes for boys, the photos of which are presented in the article, are very different. It all depends only on your imagination and conscience, which should not allow you to do everything on "tyap-boo and ready." Let's not forget the main character cartoon "Vovka in the far end of the kingdom" and say "And so come down!", Making a suit for the child.
