For our Knight's Tale party we made these striking suits of "armour" - and they did not require a single stitch, and look very much the part especially when a shiny velvet fabric is used.
MATERIALS
Silver Velvet Fabric
Pinking Shears
Curtain Tassel Tie Back or Thick Rope
DIRECTIONS
1 - For each child, measure the width of the child’s back and add 5cm. Then, measure the height of the child's back (from knee to shoulder); double that figure and add 10cm.
2 - With pinking shears, cut a piece of silver velvet fabric to those dimensions.
3 - Fold the fabric in half and on the fold centre cut a semi circle approximately 10cm in diameter.
4 - Drape each tunic evenly over the child’s back.
5 - Finally, loop a curtain tassel tieback (or thick rope) around the child’s waist tying it in a bow.
GOOD IDEA
Cut a cross or heart designs out of purple or green felt, and hot-glue one to the centre of each tunic's front side.
These party ideas come from our book For Good Times.
