Steps
Wash and dry the face masks, then cut away the ear loops and the inner filter layer so you are left with the soft outer fabric.
Cut the fabric into two rectangles about 6 by 8 cm for the bag body. Trim the edges neatly so the layers line up.
Glue the two rectangles together along the left, right and bottom edges, leaving the top open. Press the seams flat and let the glue dry.
Bend a pipe cleaner or piece of wire into a small arc for the handle. Glue the ends inside the top edge of the bag.
Decorate the front of the bag with a bead, button or a small fabric scrap. Let everything set before you pick it up.
For the flower, cut the cotton tips off two or three cotton swabs and glue them in a circle around a centre point on a small fabric circle.
Glue a bead in the middle of the flower and trim the fabric circle around the swab tips to finish the petals.
Let both crafts dry fully, then use the bag for small items and the flower as a decoration or gift topper.
Tips and common mistakes
Hot glue holds faster but can burn your fingers, so use a low-temperature gun or hold pieces with tweezers.
Wash masks before crafting to remove any residue and let them dry completely so the glue sticks.
Keep the layers thin so the bag does not bulge and the handle stays in place.
Questions
Can I use disposable paper masks instead of fabric ones?
Paper masks tear easily and do not hold glue well. Fabric masks give a stronger, softer result for both the bag and the flower.
How long does the glue need to dry?
Craft glue usually needs about 30 minutes to set and a few hours to fully cure. Hot glue sets in seconds but can be less flexible.
What can I put in the mini handbag?
It is decorative, so use it for tiny items like earrings, coins or hair pins, or hang it as a decoration.
