My tatted mask is made with cotton thread, swarovski crystals and a few small pieces of wire. You will need

intermediate to advanced knowledge of needle or shuttle tatting to complete this project including split ring

josephine knots and adding beads to tatting.

This project uses size 10 crochet cotton thread, size 5 tatting needle(or shuttle), 45 3mm/4mm swarovski

crystals, 1 piece of wire at 6.5cm and 2 pieces at 17.5cm, jewelry pliers, scissors, steel crochet hook (optio

for joins)

If you need help learning tatting check out Bella Onlineor join the tatting group Intatters.

This mask as well as many of my other tatted creations can be found in my Etsystore. If you have any

questions or problem, please let me know. This is my very first instructable so I'm certain it's a bit of a roug

draft.

Happy tatting!

Make 2

First load 6 beads onto the thread for each medallion using a beading needle. Make the medallion in the s

manner as the center medallion except there are only 6 clovers around leaving 2 free picots on the center

ring. Add beads to the top picot of each clover as you tat.

Set these aside and they will be joined during the next step.

Make a chain of 6 clovers the same as the ones on the medallions across each side of the bottom attachin

where shown in the photos and adding beads to the top picot.

Step 7: Floating Rings

You will need to make two rings to finish the nose portion. The rings are 4 picots sep by 3ds attach by sidepicots as shown.

Step 8: Nose Wire

Take the small piece of wire and weave into the back of the mask as shown. Fold over and attach to the e

wires. Make sure to stretch the lace a bit before attaching to give enough space to bend the wire over you

nose.

Step 9: Finishing

This is perhaps the most time consuming step of the mask. Cut a long piece of thread and using the tattin

needle, knot the thread over the wire repeatedly as a Josephine knot or first part of the double stitch. Use

needle to go through the edge of the rings where it looks appropriate.

You will need to go around both eyes as well as wrap the nose wire to hide as much of the metal as possib

You will need to iron the mask with steam taking care to lay all the rings and chains down well. You may us

fabric stiffener to help the mask stand up. Use a long ribbon to thread through the side medallions to wearmask. Your may want to try the ribbon in several places to find your perfect fit and press the wire to your f

to shape it.
