How to Make a King Cloak Without Sewing
Create a regal fur-trimmed cloak without sewing a stitch. Fleece fabric is a good choice; it looks rich and heavy and it does not need to be hemmed. The cloak can be worn over a choir robe or a graduation gown. Add a belt of thick gold cord around the robe and accessorize with a large medallion on a gold cord necklace. A plastic crown will add the finishing touch.
