Glue the collar and top of the cloak to a piece of felt. And then cut the felt.
  1. Transfer the pattern of the cloak details onto the backside of the leather and cut them out.
  2. Attach the collar to the piece of red felt, and after it dries, cut it out, leaving a couple of centimeters at the bottom.
  3. Take the leather cloak, stretch it, and glue it to this remaining piece of felt so that the cloak snugly fits around the collar. As you stretch the cloak, beautiful folds will naturally form.
  4. Press the cloak with weight and let it dry.
  5. Glue the velvet ribbon from the inside, and if you want to conceal the junction of the collar and cloak, then on the outside.

Personalization Spells for Your Vampire Cloak

No enchanted cloak is complete without a touch of personalization. This is your chance to get creative! Consider adding bat-shaped buttons, glittery accents, or even tiny fangs to give your teddy bear’s vampire persona a unique flair. Let your imagination run wild, and watch your creation come to life.

Tips & Tricks: Crafting the Perfect Vampire Cloak

  1. Choosing the Right Fabric:
    When selecting fabric, consider not only leather but also options like felt and velvet, or any fabric that doesn’t fray at the edges. However, leather tends to provide the most striking effect. Additionally, the backside of leather adheres well to felt, which is essential for maintaining the shape of the collar. Wondering where to source genuine leather? Repurpose old leather items, such as jackets.
  2. Effortless Fastening with Sticky Back Tape for Fabrics:
    Simplify the closure process by using sticky back tape for fabrics. This tape eliminates the need for sewing; just easily attach it to the velvet ribbon for a secure and hassle-free fastening solution.
  3. No-Fuss Closure:
    If you prefer a no-closure look, simply adhere the velvet ribbon directly to your fluffy vampire, bypassing the need for a fastener. This quick and easy option ensures a seamless and stylish finish to your creation.
