Brutal, eccentric, new, extravagant, unusual, fashionable, finally! This accessory quickly won the hearts of the western stars of show business, apparently inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean. Just a blindfold, and you are a star! You don’t even have to say anything. People around you will not be able to take your eyes off you. Do not forget about its practical side: barley, a random bruise, lack of makeup in one eye due to the fear of being late for an interview - a pirate blindfold will not only help out in such situations, but will make the meeting unforgettable!
Do it yourself
Of course, an eye patch is on sale. But it is a pity the time spent searching for an accessory, especially since a non-exclusive thing can please only a little brother. And making a unique fashionable little thing is simple, interesting, and the whole process will take no more time than finding a finished accessory.
To work, you will need cardboard or thick paper, dark and raft
material, in the tone of the fabric, elastic or lace, as well as scissors, glue and thread with a needle.
Procedure:
1. If you have points, the process is accelerated significantly. Put one part of the frame on cardboard, circle it, put it to the side and give the lines an even, smooth and finished shape. Cut the workpiece.
2. Cut the template from the center down (it will be a tuck designed to make blinking comfortable).
3. Fold the fabric on the table, circle the template twice and cut out two identical parts.
4. Glue these items on the wrong side to the cardboard. Glue the place of the cut to a depth of three to four millimeters.
5. When the blindfold has dried, cut two neat holes through the nail scissors into which you insert the cord or elastic band.
6. Decorate the accessory to your liking. The decor can be traditional (skull and crossbones), in the form of a butterfly or a flower, or even just in the form of a painted open eye.
Night bandage
The blindfold can make you an object of increased attention at any party. But after noisy fun, you usually want to have a good rest. And here, the night blindfold will be very handy. Complete darkness creates a better atmosphere for relaxation. And experience will help you make the night bandage surprisingly fast. What you need for this, you know from working on the previous model. Only material for laying (synthetic winterizer, cotton wool or soft flap) will be added to this list.
Operating procedure:
1. Circle the frame on the cardboard, give the lines a smooth, smooth and finished shape. At a distance of one centimeter, draw another contour (this is for seam allowances). Cut the workpiece.
2. Double circle the pattern on the fabric and cut out two parts.
3. Cut another blank from the cushioning fabric.
5. Sew two identical parts with the wrong side to each other, leaving a small area undersized, and turn the future bandage on the front side.
6. Inside the dressing, carefully place a pad of cotton or synthetic winterizer. Sew the rest.
7. Using a nail scissors cut a couple of holes and insert an elastic band or cord.
8. Enjoy the individual darkness that a hand-made dressing will give. Sweets dreams!
