Making ear savers with a Cricut machine is a great way to provide comfort and protection for your ears. Ear savers are small pieces of plastic or fabric that attach to the back of a face mask and help keep the elastic straps from digging into the ears. Ear savers can be made quickly and easily with a Cricut machine, which makes them perfect for both personal use and as gifts.
Before you start, you’ll need to make sure that you have the right materials and tools on hand. You’ll need your Cricut machine, fabric or plastic material, scissors or rotary cutter, iron-on vinyl (optional), and an iron (optional).
Make sure that the material you choose is thin enough to fit into your Cricut machine’s blade. You can also use iron-on vinyl if you want to add some color or patterns to your ear savers.
The first step is to create your design in Cricut Design Space. You can either design something from scratch or use one of the many pre-made designs available in Design Space.
Once you’ve chosen a design, it’s important to size it correctly so it will fit on your ear saver. Once you’re happy with your design, cut it out using your Cricut machine.
The next step is to assemble the ear saver. Start by cutting two strips of material that are slightly bigger than your ear saver design (this will help hold everything together).
Place one strip over the other so they overlap slightly, then place your ear saver design in the center of them. Fold each end over so they overlap and pin them together with sewing pins or clips.
Once everything is pinned together, sew along the edges of the material strips using a zigzag stitch on your sewing machine (or hand sew if necessary). If you’re using iron-on vinyl, this is also when you would apply it according to manufacturer’s instructions. Once everything is sewn together, turn it inside out so that all of the seams are hidden on the inside of the ear saver.
Conclusion:
Making ear savers with a Cricut machine is an easy way to provide comfort and protection for yourself or someone else while wearing face masks! All you need are some basic materials such as fabric or plastic, scissors or rotary cutter, an iron-on vinyl (optional), and an iron (optional). After designing and cutting out your ear saver in Cricut Design Space, simply assemble it by folding two strips of material around it and sewing along the edges – no prior sewing experience required!
