Hello Shiny, Crafty People! Welcome back! Today I'm making a quick and easy 3D mask using a dinner plate as the template!
Here's what you'll need:
An outer fabric
An inner fabric
Fabric for lining (if you desire 3 layers)
Matching thread (if desired)
Elastic
Silicone Toggles for the elastic (if desired)
Plate for a template
Iron
Sewing Machine
Scissors or Rotary Cutter
Here's where I buy my elastic: https://www.amazon.com/Elastic-Shed-P...
Here's where I buy my silicone toggles: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08...
If I'm not recording a video, I can make one of these masks in about 3 minutes.
LARGE would us a 9-10" plate for the template with 8-10" elastic.
MEDIUM would use an 8-9" plate for the template with 7-8" elastic.
Small would use a 7-8" plate for the template with 6-7" elastic.
You can always find an "in-between" size by using a bigger seam allowance. So if the MEDIUM is a bit too big and the SMALL is too small, try utilizing the MEDIUM but using a 3/8" seam allowance rather than a 1/4" allowance.
I rate this mask a 6/10 for comfort, fit, and utility. As for ease of sewing, I rate it a 9/10.
Have fun making this cool & easy mask and, until next time, stay crafty!!
