Question

Do I have to use two pieces of fabric?

Community Answer

It depends on how thick you want your eye mask to be, and how thick your material is. One layer of thin material won't be very effective in blocking light. If you just use one piece, though, you won't have to glue or sew.

Question

How do I determine how long a piece of elastic I need?

Community Answer

Get a piece of elastic and wrap it around your head leaving out the front (where the mask will go).

Question

Can I use normal liquid glue?

Community Answer

Normal liquid glue is usually not sufficient to keep fabric together. You will need to use fabric glue.

Question

Can I use paper instead of fabric or felt?

Community Answer

That is not recommended because you could have the possibility of getting a paper cut. Paper would also not be thick enough to block light.

Question

Could I use cotton wool on the inside to make it more comfortable?

Community Answer

Yes, but I would only use a little bit. Tearing up a cotton ball for material would be a good idea.

Question

If I don't have any felt, what clothes I can use?

Community Answer

Sweatshirts, sweatpants, flannel, or any kind of cozy PJs would all work as a substitute for felt.
