STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD THE SVG CUT FILE

Download the SVG Cut file for the Mask Template (#19) from my FREE Resource Library. Click here to get access to the library.

STEP 2 - UPLOAD THE SVG FILE TO CRICUT DESIGN SPACE

If you aren't familiar with uploading SVG files into Design Space, take a look at my quick and easy tutorial here. Using your smartphone? Click here for my step-by-step guide on uploading SVG files with the Cricut App.

STEP 3 - DUPLICATE THE MASK TEMPLATE

Once you have the SVG imported into Design Space, you need to DUPLICATE the mask template.

This will give you a layer for the outside of the mask as well as a layer for the inside of the mask.

Once you have done that, click the GREEN Make It Button located at the top right corner.

STEP 4 - MAKE YOUR MATERIAL SELECTIONS

For the Crown Royal bag, select the FELT option. The material selection for your inside layer will depend on the fabric you are using. For this tutorial, my inside layer is 100% Cotton.

Since I am using my Cricut Maker for this project, I want to use the Cricut Rotary Blade to cut my material. You make that selection by clicking EDIT TOOLS.

Select Rotary Blade.

Click Apply.

Note: You certainly can use the Fine-Point Cutting Blade, however, I have found that with the cording on the Crown Royal bag, the Rotary Blade cuts the material better.

STEP 5 - PREPARE YOUR MATERIALS

Let's start with the Crown Royal Bag.

First, you will want to cut just below the horizontal gold cording at the top of the bag. This will be your ties for the mask as well as how you will adjust the fit.

Next, flip the bag over and filet the bag by cutting down the middle of the backside of the bag. DO NOT CUT THE FRONT OF THE BAG!

Trim off any access material necessary to make a flat piece of felt.

Now, prepare your inside layer fabric by cutting a 12x12 square.

STEP 6 - PREPARE YOUR MATS

Apply your Crown Royal Bag to your Cricut FabricGrip Mat.

Trim the fabric to ensure the outside edges of the mat are clear to allow the mat to pass freely while cutting.

Use the Cricut Brayer as needed to smooth out the fabric and to ensure adhesion.

Do the same for the inside layer fabric.

STEP 7 - CUTTING YOUR MATERIALS

To load the mat into the machine, press the double arrows button. Do make sure that the mat is positioned under the mat guides.

Hit the "C" button once it begins to flash and you are on your way to cutting out your mask!

Once the cut is complete, the double arrows will flash again. Press it and the mat will unload.

Repeat Step 7 for the inside layer.

STEP 8 - ASSEMBLE YOUR MASK

Thread your sewing machine and bobbin with the coordinating thread color you chose.

Pin the inside layer of fabric and the Crown Royal Bag, right sides together.

Sew along the top horizontally.

Repeat for the bottom.

Turn the mask right side out.

Now, place the cording close to one of the vertical edges of the mask.

Fold inward creating a pocket and pin in place. You DO NOT want to pin the cording. This will ensure the cording will move freely once your mask is completed.

Sew, very carefully, along non-folded edge.

Repeat for the other side.

STEP 9 - YOUR MASK IS COMPLETE!

Your mask is ready for use.

To position, place over your head. Once you have it fitted over your nose and mouth, pull the purple "O", or doughnut, outward horizontally to tighten the mask against your head.
