How to Make a Costume Eye Mask

If you want to make a costume eye mask, here are a few easy steps. First, cut two pieces of 2 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ felt. Next, sew them together along the long and short edges, leaving an open end for turning. The mask should now be ready to wear! You may also want to consider a headband, which can be purchased for around $10. If you decide to make your own mask, be sure to follow the directions on the package carefully.

Next, make sure you measure your face. Measure the distance between the center of each eye, and then mark the middle of each one. If you have trouble determining where the top and bottom edges of your mask will sit, you can trace the spoon and mark the eye holes accordingly. Once you have the measurements, cut out your mask. You may want to add an eye lining for extra protection, or decorate it with a little glue. However, be sure that it fits perfectly!

If you’re going for a more elaborate look, you may want to add a screen to your mask. Adafruit MONSTER M4SK screens are perfect for adding animated eyeballs to your costume eye mask. The screen can be made comfortable so that you can view the inside of the mask without getting red eyes. You can also use a screen to watch a movie or play games while wearing your mask. This is a great idea if you aren’t a big fan of glued-on eye masks.
