Princess Anna Pink Cape!

Princess Anna (from Disney's Frozen) Pink Cape! With adorable clasp and capelet!  I'll be honest myself and say that I thought Frozen was a literary fail.

DIY Fancy Cape Clasps!

If you don't have a robe or a cape... go here to make a simple one! Or here! This post published on Doodlecraft first
