Batty Face Mask

This project & photos belongs to Susan at Living With Punks


Cute,Cute,Cute and Easy. Your little one with have fun wearing this mask.
       
Materials:
1/4 yard felt.
Contrasting Sewing Thread
Co-ordinating Sewing Thread
12" of 1/2" Elastic

Instructions
1. Print out the Free Bat Mask Pattern


2. Fold the felt piece so you have a double layer of felt to cut through. Pin the mask pattern to the felt to prevent shifting while cutting. To cut the eye, just fold that particular portion in half and make a slit to get your scissors thru, and then cut around the eye piece. Take your elastic and place it on the side of the opening closest to the flat side of the wing and secure with pins


3. Take your contrasting thread and begin stitching 1/8" away from the raw edge. Stitch all the way around, being careful as you go around the points and curves. I found it useful to hand turn the needle around the tighter places.


4. Use your coordinating thread to stitch around the eyes.
