Candy Cane Christmas Face Mask
Enjoy creating your masks! The muslin fabric is used for lining the masks and provides comfort as it is breathable and softer than most fabrics. Pony beads add ease and comfort to adjust the masks. Pull the ribbons through the pony beads to loosen or tighten to fit around the ears.
No more elastic hurting the ears and the ribbons look much prettier. Another idea is to use eyeglass strands to attach to the corner of the masks. Have fun creating and blinging out your masks!
How to Make a Candy Cane Mask:
-
Refer to the drawn pattern template below. Place pattern on fold of fabric and cut one each out of both the candy cane and muslin fabric. The dimensions are 5" x 10". At top of the mask, fold fabric with right sides together so dashed lines meet the back and front of fabric and sew together on dashed lines.
