Brutal, eccentric, new, extravagant, unusual, fashionable, finally! This accessory quickly won the hearts of Western show business luminaries, apparently inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean. Just an eye patch and you are a star! You don't even need to say anything. People around you will not be able to take their eyes off you. Don't forget about its practical side too: a stye, an occasional bruise, no make-up on one eye for fear of being late for an interview - a pirate eye patch will not only help out in such situations, but also make the meeting unforgettable!

We make the bandage ourselves

Of course, the eye patch is for sale. But it is a pity the time spent looking for an accessory, especially since a non-exclusive thing can only please a younger brother. And making a unique fashion item is easy, interesting, and besides, the whole process will take no more time than searching for a finished accessory.

For work you will need cardboard or thick paper, dark and raft

ny material, elastic band or lace to match the fabric, as well as scissors, glue and thread with a needle.

Procedure:

1. If you havethere are points, the process is accelerated at times. Lay one part of the frame on the cardboard, circle it, put it aside and give the lines a smooth, smooth and finished shape. Cut out the blank.

2. Cut the template from the center down (this will be a tuck designed to make blinking an eye comfortable).

3. Lay the fabric on the table, circle the template twice and cut out two identical parts.

4. Glue these elements with the wrong side to the cardboard. Glue the incision site to a depth of three to four millimeters.

5. When the eye patch is dry, use nail scissors to cut two neat holes into which to insert the string or elastic.

6. Decorate the accessory to your liking. The decor can be traditional (skull and bones), in the form of a butterfly or a flower, or simply in the form of a painted open eye.

Night dressing

An eye patch can make you the center of attention at any party. But after a noisy fun, you usually want to have a good rest. And here the night bandage on the eyes will come in handy. Complete darkness creates the best atmosphere for relaxation. And experience will help you make an overnight bandage surprisingly quickly. What is required for this, you know from the work on the previous model. Only the lining material (synthetic winterizer, cotton wool or soft flap) will be added to this list.

Working order:

1. Circle the frame on the cardboard, give the lines a smooth, smooth and finished shape. At a distance of one centimeterdraw another outline (this is for the seam allowances). Cut out the blank.

2. Trace the template twice on the fabric and cut out two pieces.

3. Cut out another piece of interlining fabric.

5. Sew two identical pieces wrong side together, leaving a small area unfinished, and turn the future bandage right side out.

6. Inside the dressing, carefully place a pad of cotton wool or padding polyester. Sew up the rest.

7. Use nail scissors to cut a couple of holes and insert an elastic band or string.

8. Enjoy the individual darkness that a handmade bandage will give. Sweet dreams!
