DIY Batman Costume: Cape

Рет қаралды 66,744

I had a few requests for various pieces of a DIY Batman costume from Rage On and Diegoneedsselfesteem, (and I also had to get it done because it's going to be my cousin's Halloween costume). It will be based on the Michael Keaton version. This tutorial is for the cape part of the DIY Batman costume and it's very easy to make. If you're on the smaller side, you might not even have to do any sewing, but if you're on the bigger side, you'll probably have to sew two pieces of material together like I did here in order to get the right width. The fake leather material can be found at JoAnn Fabrics (just make sure you bring a coupon for this stuff, since it's in on the pricier side), but you can always replace it with something cheaper if you prefer.

For part 4 of the DIY Batman costume, the belt and gloves, visit: • Batman Cosplay DIY Bel...
For part 5 of the DIY Batman costume, the mask, visit: • DIY Batman Mask
MATERIALS NEEDED:
Fake black leather fabric (I used a little over 3 yard for my cousin, but it will depend on your height. Basically you want something as long as your neck-to-ankle measurement, plus 7 inches to account for the neck hole)
Scissors
Needle and thread or sewing machine
1 large snap

idk if you do it on purpose but that 2010-2014 type of feel on your video makes this seem nostalgic and i love it

@Thewoodlandelf Жыл бұрын

As much as I'd like to take credit for it, it kinda happened on its own. The camera I use was made in 2011 I think (and I'll probably just keep using it till it dies, haha), and it gets that "nostalgic" look anytime I try to shoot black fabric. It can't pick it up clearly for whatever reason, so it ends up with an old feel look. Glad you enjoyed the effect though 😊

@VincentD20 2 жыл бұрын

So I'm trying to work out how I'm going to do the cape from "The Batman" movie coming out in 2022 for my pwn suit im making. It looks like the cape is flat at the bottom judging off of the new trailer we got, so I was wondering how i would do that, like getting the measurements and all so it can be flat?

@Thewoodlandelf 2 жыл бұрын

I haven't seen the new trailer yet, but if the cape is similar in shape to this one, other than the bottom, you could do the measurements the same way. The difference being that the "point" length, would be the center of your entire semi-circle. And then just don't add the dips at the bottom; leave it a smooth semi-circle.

@spigui500 6 жыл бұрын

Just some questions: How expensive is the material? Did you order it or did you find it in store?

@Thewoodlandelf 6 жыл бұрын

I found locally in JoAnn Fabrics. I don't recall exactly how much it was now, but I think it might have been in the $15 a yard range, so I waited until I had a 50% off coupon to make it more affordable.

What is this material and where can you buy it?

You can get it in JoAnn fabrics. I think it's technically a suedecloth, some type of polyester. It's usually over near the alova and other such costume making fabrics.

The Woodland Elf Great! Is there any possibility it's going to be done before the 30th of this month? If not could you give me tips on materials?

@Thewoodlandelf 6 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't be able to get to it by the 30th, so here's some tips. Cut the basic blade and handle shape out of cardboard. Cover the handle with clay to give the 3D look and feel. Once it's dry, paint the hilt. Then on the blade, glue a thin strip of cardboard down the center to give it the raise middle. Then wrap some electrical tape all around it, all the way down the blade. That will give you a blade shape with a raised edge. Then if you look in JoAnn Fabrics or Michael's they have that adhesive silver foil that goes in those Cricut machines. Stick that on both sides of the blade and trim it to size. It'll give you a super shiny blade then. If you got any questions, let me know.

Possibly, it depends on how soon you'd need it. I get a lot of requests, and some of them are from over a year ago, but your request might already be on my list too, which means I'd get to it faster anyway. What is it?

@Thewoodlandelf 5 жыл бұрын

Oh ok, gotcha. So you're looking for actual costumes then, not just a tutorial? Yes, I do make actual costumes for people as well. I'd have to wait until after Halloween before I could do them, as I have a lot of costume to make for people who ordered for Halloween, but if you don't need them before that, then sure, I'd talk more with you about it.
