  Step 1

  I started by cutting out 2 pieces of the basic eye mask shape. I also went ahead and made it a bit more girly by adding a ruffle. That's entirely optional on your part if you decide to do that though.

• 

  Step 2

  back side of eye mask after I sewed the ruffle on.

• 

  Step 3

  Fold the ruffle inside and spush it between your two pieces of fabric. Pin all the way around.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut two pieces of ribbon and fold in half. Pin each piece on either side of your eye mask.

• 

  Step 5

  Sew all the way around your eye mask leaving an opening along the top for you to turn right side out.

• 

  Step 6

  Turn right side out and pour white rice inside your eye mask.

• 

  Step 7

  Also add the herb or essential oil of your choice. Most women will prefer lavendar but I'll be using this when I'm in labor so I went with a lighter scent and chose Rosemary which I find to be very relaxing.

• 

  Step 8

  Pin and sew your opening shut .

• 

  Step 9

  Lastly thread your ribbon through your two ribbon loops. Heat up in the microwave for 30 seconds and relax.

This is great! I've been wanting to make a new eye mask but I'd never thought of adding herbs and rice so it can be warmed up. I am going to do his for sure.

I'm glad you liked it. I was slightly inspired by a thread on the boards going on right now. I had one of these when I was in high school and had forgotten about it yesterday and I realized I had to have one for when I'm in labor (since I'm going in the night before my induction)
