DIY Holly Golightly Sleep Masks

May 12, 2020~ DIY and craft projects, fashion, sewing

Jump to How-To

Our lovely Kate Spade inspired master bedroom  provides the ambiance, but between lights going on and off, and the pets, I need help blocking-out the light. Enter the DIY Holly Golightly Sleep Masks.

I need to sleep. I know some people can go through life with like 4hrs of sleep a night and be good to go, but I’m someone who needs her sleep. I’m talking like 8hrs+ a night to feel like a human. Living in a house with a husband who gets up 3hrs before me, and 3 pets that like to rouse me to feed them, I need quality ZZZs when I can get ’em.

DIY Holly Golightly Sleep Masks

I made my own using sleep masks from the dollar store and fabric scraps I had lying around from previous projects. It was a great “using what you have” project and took a few minutes to make.

How to make DIY Holly Golightly Sleep Masks

 I started by sewing the frabic scraps to the front of the eye masks. They were a cheap satin with little sayings. Not for me thank you. If you need to use fabric glue, make sure none of it will end up rubbing against your eyes while you sleep.

I paired-off the ribbons and tassels beforehand so that I knew what would go where.

I wanted to add the visual interest of the tassels that Holly wore on her ear plugs, but since I don’t wear ear plugs I used some jewelry wire to add them to the elastic band.

I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcou I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcouch podcast and I gotta say - FAN 👏🏻 GIRL 👏🏻 MOMENT. I had been listening since there were 2 hosts, and really got into it when I went full time with the blog during our first year posted to Gagetown. I found my colourful voice, and started making things like this beautiful glossy blue sideboard. 
There wasn’t really anyone else doing “colour” my way in the decor space at that time (everything was white farmhouse). And while there are definitely many more who do it now (and who do it better!), I’ll never forget the freedom I felt when no one was watching what I did. It has been so incredibly bittersweet watching new accounts lap me in a matter of months (and oh so humbling), but I like to think I’m exactly where I need to be. 
My growth has been slow by today’s standards, and I’m ok with it. I still get to do what I love. 
So, if you’ve been following me since then, the very beginning, or last week - stick around! Let’s see what the next stage is like.
