As you know, Mister selected Captain America as his costume for Halloween. After searching all the local stores and not being able to find a Captain America shield, I decided we’d make our own.
I made this printable Captain America Shield (in Paintshop Pro X4) and printed it on white paper.
Then I cut it out, and used our Scotch laminator (available at http://www.bestbuy.com/ or at http://www.walmart.com/) to laminate it.
Finally, I used packaging tape to affix it to a Styrofoam plate and used Duck tape to make a handle.
Walah! Super simple shield and one happy Mister!
Very cute Davey loves Capitan America. 🙂 Pinned
Love the shield, but love the boy even more! I’m sure he’s going to be the hit of the party tonight!
Love the ingenuity here! I remember making our costumes like this when we were little. Of course we didn’t have a a printer or a laminator. But paper plates and duct tape can make anything!
