DIY Silk Eyelash Sleep Mask + Free Template

DIY Eyelash Sleep Mask | Club Crafted

DIY Eyelash Sleep Mask | Club CraftedFirst of all, should we talk about how awkward I am in front of the camera? I swear I’m slightly less awkward in person…I think. 

I’m one of those people who loves complete darkness when I sleep, but otherwise I like LOTS of light, which is why I refuse to hang dark curtains in my bedroom. I decided to try a sleep mask to block out light, but I couldn’t use just any sleep mask. To dress up this plain pink silk one, I added black vinyl to create a cute eyelash sleep mask that appears to be winking. 

DIY Eyelash Sleep Mask | Club CraftedAndrew said it was creepy, so call it what you want, but I still think it’s cute.

I cut the vinyl using my Cricut machine that I swear by, but you can also use a craft knife to cut the vinyl. Just be aware that it’s a much more time consuming process that requires precision. To make this project a bit easier, I’ve linked my template below for cutting the eyelash pattern. For me, it was truly as simple as cutting and ironing the vinyl on. I swear iron-on vinyl is a gift from the craft gods! Even though ironing silk isn’t normally a good idea, a silk eye mask will iron just fine, but you will need to cover the vinyl backing with a dish towel or pillowcase to protect it when ironing. 

Time: 10 minutes

Supplies:

  • Sleep mask 
  • Black iron-on vinyl
  • Eyelash template
  • Cutting machine or craft knife
  • Iron
  • Pillowcase or dish towel

Step 1: Use the template linked above to cut the vinyl on a cutting machine, such as a Cricut, after inverting the image (necessary for iron-ons but this image will look fine if not inverted). If you do not have a cutting machine, invert the image on your computer, print it and use a sharp craft knife to carefully cut the pattern out of the vinyl. When cutting vinyl, it’s important to only cut through the vinyl layer, NOT the plastic backing. 

Step 2: Once cut, remove the surrounding area so only the eyelash pattern remains on the clear backing.

Step 4: Lay a pillowcase or light dish towel on top to protect the fabric and press with a pre-heated iron on a cotton, no-steam setting.

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
