Inspired by the Hermitage’s current exhibition, Style & Flair: Selections from the Wardrobe of Florence K. Sloane, we put together a fun DIY activity for kids that will encourage them to express their own personal style and flair.

Help your kids fly high with their very own, one-of-a-kind superhero cape! Simply follow these step-by-step image instructions using materials found at home.

All you need is:

• An old t-shirt (preferably one with no imagery or text on at least one side)
• Scissors
• Decorating materials (markers, old fabric, glue/adhesive, ribbon, yarn/string, paint, glitter, etc.)

This activity will keep kids engaged and entertained while also encouraging creativity.
