Eye masks

I find it's much easier for me to sleep when it's dark. I installed blackout curtains in my bedroom, but sometimes in the morning when I want to sleep in, I need more darkness. When I take a nap, I need to have my eyes covered to have a good nap. 

I had made eye masks before, and one happened to be plain navy blue (on the top). So, I decided to add eyes to it with Cricut, using an iron-on vinyl. It turned out pretty funny, and I like it. I think the black one was given to me on an airplane before, and I decided to add a sentence "I need my beauty sleep" just for fun, again using Cricut. 

I love using Cricut to add interesting designs onto fabric. The only thing I don't like is that the iron-on sheet is made of vinyl. After many washes they come off in places like corners, etc, and I have to iron it back on. I haven't bought any new vinyl sheets and I don't think I will any more, but I still have some left, so I will use what I already have on hand.
