We all know that sometimes our kids really can turn into "little monsters!" Well, I wanted to encourage the NICE monsters to come out and play so I made them these monster faces to play with. They have had so much fun with them!
Here is what you do: 2 yards of fabric made 4 covers. I used a bowl to trace a circle in the middle of each piece for the head opening. Make sure to draw a circle smaller then what you think so it's not to big. Trace it, then I found it easiest to put all 4 pieces of fabric on top of each other and pin them together to cut them all out at once. First cut an x in the middle with a rotary cutter then finishing cutting the circle out with pinking scissors.
You can leave it like this or in my case I turned it in and sewed a finished edge because the fabric just kept fraying.
Make silly faces out of felt and sew them onto the pieces of fabric just below the circle. I used heat n bond to make them stay in place as I sewed them on. I then finished each outer side and they were done.
Here is a close up of of all my "NICE little monsters!"
(this might even be a great idea for a Halloween costume)
