Download Eye Patch Template or just create your own shape.
- Cut 2 eye patches out of medium or heavy felt.
- Cut elastic 1″ shorter than head circumference.
- Sandwich the tips of the elastic between the two eye patch pieces. About ½″ of elastic should be between the eye patches on each side.
- Sew ¼″ around the edge.
