How do you cut a hole in a eye mask?
Cut out the eyes. If you don’t have an X-Acto knife or a razor blade – or if there isn’t an adult present – you can cut them out with scissors. Just fold the mask across where you want to cut the eye and cut a small hole. You can then insert your scissors through the hole to cut out the remaining shape of the eye.

How do you sew a face mask together?
Put the mask pieces right sides together and pin to secure. You want to line up the middle seams more than the sides. Sew along the top and bottom to attach (again, leave a 3/8″ seam allowance). Lock stitches at the start and end. Cut excess thread and clip curves along the sewn edges.
