I don't have any foam laying around, so I tried with 2 layers of felt. It works Great for now. I'll go get some foam tomorrow ;* <br />And now Your eye patches has made it to our little country Denmark ;)<br />Thanks again :)gPhoebe Denmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582698981681386337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-312063450792965883.post-6486518840232673422016-08-19T14:50:13.877-07:002016-08-19T14:50:13.877-07:00Thank you so much for this idea and the input.

I'm waiting for an eye op but the distortion I'm getting in my left eye is distracting and I've been unable to find a suitable patch to wear with my specs. I've used a soft black felt and it works brilliantly. I'll see what they say in the office in the morning - will probably cause some amusement.Jill Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14161517856005199526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-312063450792965883.post-37848455121414669672011-01-02T16:00:56.135-08:002011-01-02T16:00:56.135-08:00awesome blog, do you have twitter or facebook? i w...awesome blog, do you have twitter or facebook? i will bookmark this page thanks. lina holzbauerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-312063450792965883.post-25332703035544495722010-11-29T20:26:09.114-08:002010-11-29T20:26:09.114-08:00What a cute idea!

She sweats or cries and they come right off. And there was much crying when she saw them on her eye. Ugh. I will try this for sure.

I have not found that the patch has damaged my child's skin or eye in any way. Yes, it can get a tad sweaty in the heat of summer. Thanks for the heads up to those that may have sensitivities to plastics or latex (I don't know if that is in craft foam, but it is worth checking out if there is a predisposition).Paula -- CutieFruityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03224966610792428165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-312063450792965883.post-87986071087974126972009-12-07T10:03:31.927-08:002009-12-07T10:03:31.927-08:00This is simple and easy, but my concern is for abs...This is simple and easy, but my concern is for absorption. My son usually has a weepy/sweaty eye under his patch and I am looking for something that will naturally absorb that (like wool felt). <br />My main concern here is that the chemicals used in making craft foam (chemicals you can even smell)are not good close to the eye.<br />This is a clever idea, but I don't think it is safe, I wouldn't recommend it for children or people who may have sensitive eyes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-312063450792965883.post-48036471952596368662009-10-05T14:57:13.148-07:002009-10-05T14:57:13.148-07:00Thanks for the information!

By the time she got home the stick-on version was gone ("... but Mom, it was loose!"). I think your version will work much better! <br /><br />Along with the foam, I also picked up some felt to see how it would do. It works great - my daughter has it on now.

I made him a foam one using your tutorials last night and he thought it was cool I let him color it. He was even excited to wake up and wear his patch before school!

My daughter does not wear glasses now and can not use latex.<br /><br />We bought a cheap pair of kid's sunglasses to start her with and I was trying to figure out how to build a patch for them.<br /><br />They don't have a nosepiece though so this pattern doesn't work for those. I am going to pick up some $9 frames at Walmart (back to school sale). They said I can buy the frames without lenses! We will make foam patches and she can decorate them with stickers :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-312063450792965883.post-64165426340588551322009-09-17T11:00:05.386-07:002009-09-17T11:00:05.386-07:00This is wonderful for those who have a child who w...This is wonderful for those who have a child who wears glasses, but my daughter has good vision other than her intermittent strabismus, sny suggestions?o I would like to find a patch that doesn't require glasses besides the expensive throw away adhesive ones.
