halloween guest post (with Katie from punk projects)

Hey! I'm Katie from Punk Projects!

I love this time of year, Its beautiful outside, You get to eat lots of pumpkin pie, Decorate for Halloween, etc! My lovely Sister Taylor and I had the idea to make these super cute & easy felt masks!

How to make a mask:
Tools & Supplies: Felt & Fabric, Ribbon/RicRac, Sewing Machine

1. Cut your mask shape out of felt.

2. Cut a strip of black fabric or felt, cut zigzags into it, and sew onto the top of your mask.

3. Sew a few stitches to give your mask some character. :)

4. Attach your straps. I cut my RicRac straps 20" long so that there would be plenty of it to tie.

And you are done! Yay!



Are you dressing up for Halloween?

Thanks Kellie so much for featuring this tutorial!
xo, Katie
