Jeweled Sleep Masks

• Children can have fun creating jeweled sleep masks using colored paper and flexible, self-adhesive black felt. Such masks may be created in any style or pattern using different jewels, including those in round, star and diamond shapes of assorted sizes and colors. Sequins add sparkle to such masks, use one color, such as silver or gold, or a rainbow of colors. Sequins also work as borders for your sleep masks. Craft foam shapes may be dipped in glitter to add more sparkle to the mask, or glitter can be painted over the mask's entirety as the base design.
  
  

Bears, Muppets and Messages

• Additional ideas for sleep mask crafts include those made with a Halloween theme, such as masks with spooky eyes painted on. Panda bear, crocheted owl sleep masks or Muppet sleep masks, such as those featuring the eyes of Miss Piggy, are also options. Hand-embroider sleep masks with faux fur or try making sleep masks featuring large false eyelashes for a 'sleeping' look. More ambitious crafters may want to look into sleep masks with larger designs, such as those using polymer clay and assorted letter beads to make a mask that reads "I sleep with scissors." Also try creating sleep masks with assorted pieces of scrap fabric.
