Simplification…
New and improved..
To soften the transition between the hard hockey mask and the soft ball cap, I cut a piece of foam…
And adhered it ni place…
The new cloth I’ll be using to cover the face area is the recommended black speaker material. I’m using some regular black cotton material to make some ties…
The ties, folded and pressed…
I then ran a stitch down each side…
The new ties, pinned in place at the bottom of the new face cloth…
Test fitting the new face cloth…
I just used hot glue to secure the new face cloth in place…
To cover the wires and rivets, I cut a couple of pieces of foam…
And, adhered them in place…
Now that the back part of the eyes are black, I wanted to add a bit of reflectivity to the inside, so I cut some small disks of foil tape…
And stuck them in the back…
Here, the eye backs are attached…
And, with the clear cups attached…
These eyes look SO much better that the old ones…
