How to Make a Cape for a Doll
Making the Cape
- 1). Measure and cut out a circle with a diameter twice as long as you want the cape to be.
- 2). Fold the circle in quarters and cut the corner off in a curve (just a tiny little piece, especially if it's a small doll) to make the neck hole.
- 3). Unfold the circle and lay it out flat on your work space (it should look like a very fat doughnut with a tiny hole).
- 4). Cut one slit from the edge to the hole to make the front opening.
- 5). Finish all edges with a narrow hem or with fabric glue to prevent unraveling (if you're using felt, you don't need to hem).
- 6). Glue or sew pieces of yarn or ribbon to the edges of the neck hole; they should be long enough to tie in a bow.
