Scoop: Five Things: Make you own superhero costume

What will the event entail?

It will consist of learning how to make a superhero cape, mask and wristbands out of an old T-shirt.

Who can come to the event?

It is open to teens Grades 6 through 12.

How much does the event cost?

The event is free. Teens should bring a large or extra large cotton T-shirt.

How did you get the idea for the event?

I wanted to find a cheap, easy DIY cosplay idea for teens, so I got some ideas on Pinterest and ran with it.

What is the main purpose of offering this event?

Our summer learning program is “Every Hero Has a Story,” so I’ve been trying to incorporate superhero programs throughout June and July. Teens love being creative, and I hope this will inspire them to make more costumes or projects out of everyday objects lying around their home.
