To create your costume, you’ll need to start with the basics…thermal pyjamas for men, women and kids.  You’re welcome. I’ve figured out how you can wear pyjamas all day!
To create the superhero “shoes” – I grabbed coordinating pairs of soccer socks, and added a strip of white duct tape! How easy! Pull the socks over your shoes for a coordinated head to toe look – but you’ll definitely want to trash them at the end of the night after walking around.
For the Super Busy Mom costume, I added a simple white apron since I’m the chef in the family!
With the basics covered, it’s time to pull out your Cricut Maker to create all the decorations and accessories for your family of superheroes. For each element of the costumes, I shopped JOANN since I can grab a ton of different Cricut supplies, fabric and crafting must-haves in one place!

FAMILY COSTUMES:
Family Super Hero Shields
No superhero costume is complete without a shield emblazoned on the shirt and cape! To create the capes, I simply cut some felt that I grabbed from JOANN. The capes were attached to the shoulders of each shirt using a bit of Sticky Velcro. To make the capes and shirt shields, you’ll need:
  1. Open the shirt shields HERE and open the cape shields HERE
  2. Use your Cricut EasyPress to adhere the images onto the shirts and capes
Family Felt Eyemasks and Cuffs
  1. Use the rotary blade to cut all the shapes from felt.
  2. For the cuffs, use felt glue to adhere the stars, then use Sticky Back Velcro to secure them around your wrists
  3. For the eye masks, use the Crop-a-Dile with Eyelet Kit to punch holes and set eyelets at each end. Tie on ribbon or elastic to make the masks easy and comfortable to wear.
