Stylin Eye Patch

My daughter needs to wear an eye patch for a few hours a day and the Dr. prescribed the adhesive kind. From what I hear these can be pretty irritating, peel off when the kid gets hot and sweaty, and not to mention expensive if you buy the pretty ones - the ones they will actually wear. So a crafty mother thinks to herself I'm sure I can make something... Initially I made a pirate style one but she kept snapping the band and the material I selected was uncomfortable. Plan B, jump on-line and see what's out there. Lo and behind another crafty mama has already created a tutorial to make a fabric eye patch. Amanda Adams at LucyKate Crafts designed a eye patch for her daughter and has shared the love. She has an in-depth tutorial that is super easy to follow. I already had everything on hand to make one. More of these to come in lighter natural materials. This one is felt.



If you have to wear an eye patch you might as well have a stylin one, right?



It just hooks on the stem of the glasses and has a pocket that the lens slides into
