Reproduce these prints as much as you need, to fill the front part of the mask, then sew them on it. Play with the shapes to create different ones, making round shaped print etc… Then with the dmc thread, fill the inside of the print using the satin stitch (embroidery stitch), to complete the leopard print.

Once you’re done with the prints, cut a piece of elastic band for sewing, and sew the tips of it on each side of the eye mask. Make sure that the elastic band fits the dimension of your head. Then with your 5 mm crochet hook and the faux fur yarn, single crochet around the band to hide it under the yarn. You will have to crochet more sc than needed to fill the length of the band, because of its elasticity. So keep this in mind when crocheting around it.

When you’re done, sew the yarn on both sides of the mask to hide the tips of the elastic band under.

Finally, cut a piece of silk fabric, then sew it as the back lining of the mask.

And you’re done!
