Gingerbread Jewels Fabric Face Mask Pattern

Enjoy creating your masks! The muslin fabric is used for lining the masks and provides comfort as it is breathable and softer than most fabrics. Pony beads add ease and comfort to adjust the masks. Pull the ribbons through the pony beads to loosen or tighten to fit around the ears.

No more elastic hurting the ears and the ribbons look much prettier. Another idea is to use eyeglass strands to attach to the corner of the masks. Have fun creating and blinging out your masks!

How to Make a Gingerbread Man Mask:

Refer to the drawn pattern template below. Place pattern on fold of fabric and cut one each out of both the gingerbread and muslin fabric. The dimensions are 5" x 10". At top of the mask, fold fabric with right sides together so dashed lines meet the back and front of fabric and sew together on dashed lines.

Pin right sides together and sew top and bottom in 1/4" seams, leaving ends open.
Turn right side out and press with iron.
Cut ribbon in half.
Place center of ribbon on center top of the mask and fold over both sides of the top of the mask.
Sew close to the edge of the ribbon making sure to sew through both sides.
Pull both ends of ribbon through a gold pony bead and slide beads to bottom corner edges.
Weave ribbons through jewelry strands and tie wrap around knots to end of ribbons.
Using fabric adhesive, glue rhinestones to eyes and buttons onto the gingerbread men.
