I made two (2) masks. One with crocheted chain straps; the other with elastic straps.
Special Note:
All faces/heads are not the same size. 10" circle was perfect for me and should work with teenagers. For some, you may need to make a 11-12" circle to start with. The process is the same.
Directions:
1. I used a 10" round dinner plate as my template on the fabric. I used a colored pencil and traced around the plate to make a circle. I then cut the circle. I repeated this process on a contrasting color piece of fabric.
2. Now, fold fabric in half. Then fold over left to right.
3. Cut up the fabric. Then across the bottom, cut from right to left two times. You will now have 4 pieces of fabric. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second piece of fabric.
4. Place 2 pieces of the Star Wars fabric together with the right sides facing each other. You will sew the curved portion. Secure ends. Repeat for the remaining 2 pieces of Star Wars fabric. Then repeat 2 more times with the contrasting fabric.
5. Using an iron gently iron the fabric.
6. Now, you will place the Star Wars fabric and a contrasting fabric, right sides facing each other
together and sew completely around, leaving about 2-3" open. This is so you can turn it inside out. Repeat step for your second mask.
together and sew completely around, leaving about 2-3" open. This is so you can turn it inside out. Repeat step for your second mask.
7. Sew the opening closed. For the straps to be placed, you will be working on the sides. First, fold in about 1/4" and sew. Then fold over about a 1/2" and sew. Secure and fasten off. Use a darning needle to run your strap through the opening. Repeat this for the opposite side and then on the second mask.
For the straps:
Crocheted:
1. I used a 3.5mm hook. Chain 150. Fasten off and secure knot.
Elastic:
1. I cut about a 12-14" piece of 1/4" elastic. Inserted through opening with a darning needle. Sewed ends together and hid sewn ends inside the fabric by turning the elastic.
