Insert a wire inside top edge of the mask at the nose area to prevent glasses fogging up. Twist ties, aluminum foil works.
Cut a piece of aluminum foil approximately 5 inches by 7 inches. (12 cm by 18 cm)
Width depends on the width of your mask. Fold it many times lengthwise to form a wire.

Facial Tissue
Fold tissue paper about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the edge then fold back and forth like an accordion.
Wear the tissue on the bridge of your nose under the mask.

How to Attach Patches Without Sewing

https://www.favecrafts.com/Wearable-Crafts/How-to-Attach-Patches-Without-Sewing-Gorilla-Glue
By: The designers from gorillatough.com
Updated February 02, 2018

Use glue for patches on fabrics to attach them without having to sew. This easy tutorial will teach you how to glue patches on a denim jacket or any other fabric for a permanent bond. Follow the simple instructions and your patch will stick permanently. It will even be safe to wash in the washing machine. This is a great option for any of the kids scout programs too. When they get their patches, no need to sew them on. Since patches are becoming trendy again, don't let sewing deter you from making a custom jacket you'll love. Just glue on the patches!
If you have any further questions, please contact us at 800-966-3457 or gorillatough.com.

Estimated Cost Under: $10

Time to Complete: Under an hour

Materials List

Gorilla Clear Grip
Denim Jacket
Patch

Instructions
Jackets with patches have entered the scene again. Pick out your favorite patches, the jacket that fits you perfectly, and a tube of Clear Grip - you’ll be all set up to make one for yourself.

If you’re on the thrifty side, head to a local second hand store and pick up a pre-loved jacket and you may even find some patches there!

Here at Gorilla, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, we decided to make a jacket with our Ohio flag on it! We also have some Gorilla Glue logo patches, and other beauties we found at our local craft store.

1. Start by deciding where you want to place the patch. Consider keeping it in a place that is visible, and won’t snag on seat belts, bracelets, etc.

2. Lay the jacket flat, and apply the glue to the jacket and to the patch.

3. Wait 2 minutes while the adhesive “flashes” off - the contact adhesive creates its strong bond by evaporation.

4. When you place the patch on the jacket, match the glued fabrics together, and press firmly while they adhere to one another.

5. The two pieces should stick immediately, and are fully cured in 24 hours. After a full cure, the glue is even washer and dryer safe!

hobo bag

you will cut 2 of these for the interior and 2 for the exterior

here are all the pieces. the ones on the far left are key...they will be attached to the zipper and you will start with those.
you then have the body of the purse (interior and exterior) and then you have 2 pieces (at the bottom of the photo) to create the strap for your shoulder.

you will sandwich the zipper between one zipper piece of each the interior and exterior. make sure the top of the zipper (outside face) faces the good side of the exterior fabric.. you may want to unzip the zipper to make this process easier. oh and cut the zipper to the length that you want for the opening. make sure to sew at the end of where you cut so that if you accidentally unzip it all the way..you don't waste an entirely good zipper...this has happened to me... the shorter the zipper the smaller and scrunch-ier the purse.. my zipper is about 12".
hobo bag 2

this is what it will look like once you finish both sides and both interior and exterior. this picture shows only the interior side.

hobo bag 3

then take one of the interior body pieces and pin in place with pleats. i start from the middle of each piece (zipper piece and interior body) and pin them to keep them centered...then i pleat and pin..space them accordingly so that once you reach the end where it curves that it will line up with the end of your zipper piece. which by the way...the zipper piece should be just a tad longer on either side of the length of your zipper.

hobo bag 4

do this to both interior body sides.

hobo bag 5

now you want to put the good sides of the interior body pieces together and sew them...like so.

make sure you leave a space..this is where you will turn your purse inside out at the end.

hobo bag 6

now you will do the same to the exterior fabric. pin and pleat and sew.

hobo bag 7

open it up and face the good sides of the exterior together and sew..this time don't leave a space like the interior pieces. unzip the purse more than half way so it's easier to turn inside out.

hobo bag 7

now where you left the space...turn the entire purse inside out

hobo bag 9

and this is what you get when you turn your purse exterior side outside. you will have holes on either side of the purse unfinished for your strap.
