Steps
Wash and dry the fabric masks, then cut away the ear loops and the metal nose strip. Keep the soft fabric layers for the petals.
Cut each mask layer into small circles or petal shapes. Make five or six petals per flower so it looks full.
Stack the petals and pinch the base of each one. Sew a few stitches through the bottom to hold the shape.
Bend a cotton swab or toothpick into a short stem. Glue or sew it to the base of the flower.
Add a small bead or button to the centre of the flower with a dot of glue. Let it dry flat.
For the mini bag, cut two matching rectangles from the mask fabric. These become the front and back panels.
Sew or glue the side and bottom edges together, leaving the top open. Turn it right side out.
Twist a strip of mask fabric into a handle and attach it to the top corners. Decorate the bag with a small flower.
Tips and common mistakes
Let glue dry fully before handling the flowers, or the petals will slide out of place.
Wash masks before cutting, and skip any mask that is torn or stained.
Use sharp scissors and keep fingers clear of the blade when cutting small shapes.
Questions
Can I use disposable masks for this craft?
The project uses fabric masks, which hold shape better. Disposable masks tear easily and are harder to sew.
Do I need a sewing machine?
No. A needle and thread or craft glue are enough for these small pieces.
What can I do with the finished flowers and bags?
Use them as decor, gift toppers or small party favours. The mini bags are decorative, not for carrying heavy items.
