The masks I am making for costumes for the kids have bothered me. I have ribbon ties attached around the kids' heads. Our VBS participants are often as young as two. At the thrift store, I spotted a foam visor. Eureka! I traced a pattern, cut up a file folder to make a card stock insert, and assembled a few samples. The visors have Velcro tabs to fasten them instead of ribbon ties. I think they will be both safe and adjustable. Why felt? Foam sheets are much more expensive. I keep an eye open for felt year-round for my Chemistry classes to sew moles for Mole Day. Felt can be hot-glued quickly. In any case, I have yards of felt and can make one hundred masks or visors, which would be too costly with foam sheets.
