How to make capes at home

[diabloiij]

hello, seeing that most minifig cape on bricklink are over $1, I don't find the price reasonable for a small piece of cloth. Does anyone know what kind of material are the minifig capes made of? I asked in Joann department store today and they said they don't carry anything like it. If anyone happens to know where I can get some raw material for the capes. It will be much appreciated. If one can tell me on how to make one plus the tools that I will need (hole puncher?) , then it will be even better. Thank you in advance!!

The problem with making your own capes is freying of materials.

From what I've found there are 2 solutions.

1. Use a none frey material PVC etc

2. You can use cotton etc but before cutting it use an anti frey spray.
