  Step 1

  cut a piece of fabric 20 by 18 cm.

• 

  Step 2

  add any flat embellishments first. here, I've free stitch machine embroidered a simple bow pattern. other fun ideas for decoration is appliqué, lace, ribbons, or iron on patches.

• 

  Step 3

  pleat the edges with one box and two knife pleats, to bring it down to around 9cm.

• 

  Step 4

  encase the edges with folded over ribbon or bias binding.

• 

  Step 5

  sew the ends of 60cm of elastic together to make a circle.

• 

  Step 6

  hem the elastic into the long edges of the mask, leaving two loops at the sides.

• 

  Step 7

  add any additional embellishments. I like to put a little bow on the side.

• 

  Step 8

  alternatively, you can encase the long edges with more ribbon or bias binding, still leaving the loops at the side but stitching the edges closed. this is less flexible with sizing so make sure its the right size beforehand.
