Face Mask 2020 Part 2

I now have a Plain Mask. However I think it is a bit boring so I am going to Embellish it.

Nose and Edge Pins

I have had an inspiration about what Design to put on the Mask but first I need some dimensions. I fold the Mask in Half and mark the Centre with a Pin. I then put the Mask to my nose and bend it towards my ear. I then mark both Sides with a Pin.

Jawline Pins

I next open the Mask up again and carefully Tie it around my face. I Pin the Rough Shape of my Jawline.

Rough Drawing

With a Pencil I Draw Roughly the Outline of the Image I want on my Mask.

White Felt

I cut out and Pin a piece of White Felt to the Mask. I then Sew it in place using a Backstitch.

Backstitch Teeth

Once the Felt is Sewn I can begin to create the Detail. Using ordinary Black Thread I Outline the Shape of Teeth in a Mouth. This is again using Backstitch.

Infill Teeth

I Sew all the Upper Teeth in the Mouth. I then begin to do the same on the Bottom. However this time I have to Infill the Gaps in-between the Teeth.

Highlight Teeth

As I am going along I notice that in comparison to the Gaps the Outlines of the Teeth are rather insipid. I therefore go over them again to Highlight them.

Red Felt Layer

I cut out small sections of Red Felt and Pin them in place. Once I have the complete Outline I Backstitch around the Inner and Outer Edges with Red Thread.

Jane the Joker

The above photograph shows the finished Mask. I just couldn’t resist adding a bit of Green to my Hair. Voila Jane as the Joker. Hope it brings a smile to others.
