Super Girl to the rescue! Cape and mask decorating is a fun craft for kids during a Girl Superhero Birthday Party. Let your guests decorate their very own Superhero Capes and Masks during the party. Then they can head over to the Photo Booth station to get their pictures taken.

1

Place the personalized cape on the back of kids’ chairs and the mask at their place settings. Another option is to have a separate table set up just for the cape and mask decorating.

Place the jewels in plates or bowls.

The kids will peel off the adhesive paper from each jewel and apply the jewels to their cape and mask. The jewels stick really well on the cape material.

Now they are ready to be worn and head over to the photo booth station for Superhero Photos!

Find a flat wall to tape the backdrop to. I used painters tape to adhere the backdrop to the wall. You can use all three backdrop pieces to make a longer backdrop, or only two of the pieces as I did here.

Place the honeycombs in front of the backdrop on the ground. This step is optional, but gives a fun extra depth to the photos.

Fill your Cityscape Bucket with the Gem Gum and insert your Photo Booth Prop Sticks.
