Hobbit Cloak (Hobbit’s Journey)

Elevator Pitch

Join the Motley Kids as we make Lembas bread!

We are using the lembas recipe from “Recipes from a Halfling’s Pantry” at VomitingChicken.com for the cooking portion of this craft!

Optional:

Cut the T-shirt straight up the middle with your scissors. It’s okay if it’s not perfect.
Cut the sleeves off your T-shirt — cut a straight angled cut from just below the armpit to account for the curve.
Turn your T-shirt inside out
Use your hot glue or double stick tape to seal your sleeve holes closed.
Use a straight line of glue or tape, and glue the right sides (outside) together
Turn your T-shirt right side out.
Decide which side your cloak pin will be on (we know they go in the middle but we don’t have actual pins, so it will be on one side) and cut a small hole in the neckline on the other side.
Pick up one of your sleeves and cut the hemmed section off. This will be your fastener.
Cut the arm loop open at the underarm seam.
Thread one end through the hole in the neckline (top to bottom), fold it over, and glue or tape it down to secure.
Fold the loose end back in a large loop and glue or tape to secure. This should not be attached to anything right now. It will hook over your leaf to close your cloak.
On the other side of the T-shirt neckline, make two small holes (cut them with scissors or poke with an awl).
Fold your chenille stem in half and poke it up through the holes (inside to outside)
Use the chenille stem to secure your button onto the collar by threading the ends through the holes in the button and twisting, then glue the remaining bits down onto the button
Cut a leaf from your felt (not too big) or use a silk flower leaf; glue it onto your button
Decorate!
