DIY: Superhero Muscle Shirt/ DIY Batman Costume

This has got to be my favorite part of my little dude's Batman Costume.  Not only is it my favorite, but it was dang cheap and so very easy to create!





Get two black t-shirts that are just his size.  (Got mine at Walmart for $3 a piece)


Get some felt and stuffing.  Cut the felt into muscle shapes and hot glue these shapes to one of the black t-shirts.  Make sure that each muscle shape has one side left open, like a little pocket, so you can stuff it full of stuffing.



Once each muscle shape/pocket is stuffed, hot glue the opening closed.


Yes I know it looks horrible, but have no fear, that is why we bought TWO black t-shirts.

Next I put the other black t-shirt over the muscle shirt.  I did this to see where I should sew the Batman Symbol.


(if you would a tutorial on how I made my batman symbol, just leave a comment below and I can do that for you.)
Once I decided where the symbol looked the best, I removed the outter shirt and sewed the symbol onto it separately.  Once I finished that, I put the batman symbol shirt on the muscle shirt once again.
Finally once the symbol is in place, I hand stitched the two shirts together.  I only stitched around the muscles on the front or where I pinned it into place as seen below.
