How to make the lolita eyepatch you have always dreamed of! ^.^ <3
For my costume, I wanted a lolita eyepatch. However, no one had put an how-to for making it, so with a lot of pictures, imagination and help from my grandmother (you are the best, grandma!), I've been able to make this marvelous eyepatch!^-^

P.S.: If you are asking yourself how to wear it under you hear,don't worry, it's very easy. You just put your eyepatch over your hair, take the hair off your elastics and Voilà!

    Step 1

    First, you need 2 small squares of fabric (take a soft fabric, because if not it will irritate your skin. The squares must be the same size. Even tough I said 3 x 3 inches of fabric,you can make it the size you want, as long as the 2 squares are the same size.

    Fold the edges of one square as shown on the picture. cut your elastic in half. check if th elastic is not to tight on your head, or your eyepatch will squeeze your face and there will be an ugly bump(check on the pictures how it squeezes my face. It is a bad mistake to make). then, stich the ends of the elastics on the fabric like shown.
