Hi Crafty Friends!

I love that feeling that you get when you take an idea that’s been floating around in your head and turn it into a physical object. Taking a bit of this, a bit of that, using the tools that are at your fingertips and turning it into magic. To me, that’s what being a maker is all about– taking that idea and bringing it to life. 

This project was one of those perfect magical moments where I had an idea in my head, the perfect tools in my craft room to make it (my Cricut Maker and sewing machine) and the perfect occasion to make it for– Easter!

This DIY bunny sleep mask only takes 30 minutes to make and it’s SO MUCH FUN. You are seriously going to love it.

I made it with a combination of quilters cotton, fleece, felt and glitter iron on but the possibilities are endless.

It’s super cute for Easter but it could easily be used all year long. It would make the cutest sleepover birthday party favor! Both of my kids love it!

I got my first sewing machine at a garage sale when I was 10 years old. I’ve always enjoyed sewing, but I have always hated cutting fabric. I feel like there must be an exact science to it, and I definitely lack whatever those skills are.

My pattern pieces never line up, their slightly off and crooked, and that makes sewing a project so hard.

That’s why I love my Cricut Maker and the Rotary Blade Adaptive Tool. It does the hard work of cutting out fabric for me and makes it super quick, easy and cuts each piece perfectly.

Today I’m going to share with you my Bunny Sleep Mask SVG File. All you have to do is upload it to Cricut Design Space and let your Cricut Maker do the grunt work of cutting out the fabric for you.

If you have a Cricut Explore or Cricut Explore Air 2 you can still make this project. Simply cut the designs out onto paper or cardstock and  use them to trace the designs onto fabric which you can then cut by hand.
