DIY Frida sleep mask
What you need:
"I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality." Frida Kahlo summed it up perfectly. And that's exactly the feeling you'll get when you create your own Frida sleep mask. Especially in winter, when everything outside is whispering gray and the days drag on like chewing gum, a little dream trip simply does you good. With your DIY sleep mask, you can immerse yourself in your colorful fantasy world in no time at all - a little color, a little creativity and the short vacation in your head begins.
The best thing about it: your sleep mask will be as unique as you are. You can change the template to suit your mood. Whether it's Frida, a Disney heroine, a superhero, a mythical creature or your personal favorite character - anything you can paint, glue or cut out will find a cozy spot on your mask. The result is a truly unique piece, as colorful as the dreamers themselves. Whether for big dreamers or little sleep adventurers - with this lovingly crafted mask, it's time to close your eyes, turn on your imagination and welcome to your own creative dream world.
Cut out all the shapes on the template from the felt.
Glue the hair to the face with craft glue.
Glue the flowers together. Start with the inner small petals and glue the new petals around the outside. You can also use a hot glue gun for this.
Twist in the pistils and glue them into the flowers with hot glue.
First glue the leaves to the hair with the glue stick, then attach the flowers with hot glue.
Glue the eyebrows and cheeks in place with glue stick.
Finally, embroider the sleeping eyes.
