| If ever a lesson needed you to get the fabric out it’s this one. While you can make your own capes quite easily I recognise that’s a bit more fabric than many groups want to be working with, so here is a super simple cape to make for King Saul. |  |
 |
Print out one template page per 2 children – you’ll also need a fabric that doesn’t fray (I used felt), glue and some thick cardboard. For printing in full colour PDF – 1 page For printing with no colour PDF – 1 page |
 |
roughly cut round the back of King Saul and mount this paper on card. (note if you want to save time use the front instead and discard the back) |
 |
Cut round the outline of the shape only. |
 |
Repeat this process with the broach that holds the cloak in place. |
 |
Cut out the front of King Saul and glue over the blank side. |
 |
Make 2 slits along the hairlines and bend the hair slightly forward, this will help position and hold the robe. |
 |
Cut out the robe template and lightly glue or clip onto fabric so it can be cut out. |
 |
Wrap the cloak round King Saul sliding it under the hairline to hold it in place. The long thin piece reaches his right shoulder. Add a drop of glue to the fabric to hold it in place then glue the broach on. |
