Tips to Make a Stitch Eye Mask

  • Definitely start by getting some awesome sleep masks like these. If you’re making one Stitch eye mask, you can just get one, but you’re going to want more colors–trust me, when you see what’s coming…you’re going to want multiple colors.
  • Click here to download the free Stitch sleep mask cut file set. It’s got the eyes, nose, all the little glinty-shines on the eyes and nose. This cut file set is what’s going to make your sleep mask so cute you’ll squeal.
  • I loved the fact that I could use my vinyl scraps for this–these pieces are relatively small and I could just cut out little bits from multiple scraps and viola!
  • Be sure to use the attach function in Cricut Design Space to get your eye shadows (the light blue behind the eyes) coordinated, the black pieces (eyes, nose and eyebrows) coordinated and the glints for the eyes and nose coordinated. This will make your placement of each piece go much more smoothly–and yes, that wastes a lot more vinyl, but if you’re cutting from scraps anyway…
  • It’s a good idea to take a minute ironing your eye mask. The fabric they use for those eye masks sometimes gets wrinkled in transit, so this will help make sure your vinyl gets applied evenly.
  • If I’m going to recommend a heat transfer vinyl for this Stitch sleep mask, it’s going to be the Siser EasyWeed you can find here. Because these are such small pieces and you have to layer them, it’s so convenient to not have to deal with the whole separate transfer sheet thing.

Can You Make This Craft Without a Cricut or Silhouette?

YES! Every time I put out a new craft, I get this question and I only just realized that I should make this clear on ALL of my cut file-related crafts that you can absolutely make this craft without ever seeing a Cricut or Silhouette.

Here’s what you do: download the cut file set then print the PNG file. With that in hand, just trace the shape you’re using onto the vinyl, then use scissors or an exacto knife to cut them out.

With the shape in hand, just iron it onto your sleep mask.

That simple and that quick!
