Kids Eye Patch (to be used with glasses)

Needing to wear an eyepatch to correct vision trouble can be a bummer for a kid.  A custom eyepatch in their favorite color and design, you can make it a lot more fun, and you can make one for a fraction of the cost of buying a custom made one.

You will need:
Felt or fleece (you can get 8x11 sheets of felt at Hobby Lobby for 25 cents each)
Water soluble fabric marker
Elastic band (cut a hair band in half)
Fabric glue (I used Tacky glue, but it's not really strong enough)
Needle and thread
Decorations, such as bits of felt, fabric paint, sequins, etc.

Step 1: Step 1

Cut two circles approximately 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter.  I traced a glass that was about the right size.  Use whatever works, it doesn't have to be exact.  The circles do not have to be the same color.  If your background color is a light color, make sure the back of the patch is a dark color.

my 18mo grandson has to wear a patch 4hrs a day but doesn't wear glasses, my daughter made him several "pirate" patches, when he wears them he is "captain" this looks like a great idea

I do too, and I don't even wear glasses, or need to train my eyes!
