If you’re a mom, you know it's only a matter of time before the facemasks that you bought your kids start to go missing. It’s like mittens or socks. They’re guaranteed to disappear. But mama, we’ve got you.
Enter: Facemask Lanyards. It’s as easy as you hope it is - trust us!
Double- Strand Lanyard Mask Holder with Bead Accents
Make it *almost* impossible for your kids to lose their facemasks! This double lanyard mask holder has been the most popular style we’ve seen around so far! This lanyard is double stranded the entire length, so it's durable and strong.
We’ve used a breakaway clasp on this lanyard to ensure an extra layer of safety.
We LOVE the opportunity to add some character to your masks. You could add a name, fun accent beads - the options are endless! These are great ways to make your child's mask personalized and easy to find. Just remember, too many beads could make the lanyard a bit too heavy and pull on your little one’s ear elastics!
Supplies Needed:
- 8 x 9mm beads
- 2 x Accent beads of your choice
- Breakaway clasps
- 2 x 60” length of cording
- 2 Gold lanyard clips
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Fold your cording length in half. Create a loop knot onto the lanyard hook.
2. Taking a lighter, melt the two ends together and fuse them. Make sure you have about 1” of cording that has been fused and is hardened. Start to thread your beads.
3. Make sure that you don’t thread too many beads to ensure that your mask holder doesn’t begin to pull down on the earpieces when attached to your child’s mask. We found 4 x 9mm beads and an accent bead a good weight for our mask elastics.
4. After your beads are threaded, push your fused end through your breakaway clasp as well.
5. About 6” down from your beads, tie a very tight knot in your cording. Trim your cord ends to be very short, and melt the knot and end with your lighter.
6. Pull the breakaway clasp up onto the knot (*this may be difficult with one end of the breakaway clasp, but with some careful, firm pulling, the knot should settle safely inside the breakaway clasp).
7. Directly under your beads, loop another knot to keep those beads secure. This will prevent the beads from moving around on the lanyard cord.
8. Repeat steps 1-7 on the other side, making sure that you use the matching end to your breakaway clasp.
Happy Crafting!
