Create the mask and ears:

• Cut out the eye openings and cut small a semi-circle along the bottom middle edge to reveal the nose. Secure around head with fabric tape.
• Cut two pointy ears from black felt and glue to a headband for the ears.
• For an alternate way, use face paint.

Make the Batman emblem:

• You can find the image on the internet to print and trace.
• Stick together with fabric tape and attach with fabric tape to the top.

Make the belt:

• Wrap additional strips of electrical tape around waist until belt is desired width

Make the cape:

• Cut a large rectangle of black fabric
• Attach black fabric to the collar of the shirt top by using fabric tape, safety pins, or hot glue
