Print Project

Step 1

First, click here for the link to the design in Cricut® Design Space™.

Step 2

Cut out the shape of the shield with your Cricut® machine from a sheet of acetate.
TIP: If you do not have a Cricut® machine available, you can trace the shape and cut out with scissors. To download a printable template, click here. When you go to print, you may need to tile the image, then cut/piece together the template with tape as it is a little larger than most printers will allow.

Step 3

Now, cut a 13" [33.02 cm] strip of elastic, then staple each end to the top, non-curved corner of the shield shape to form a head band.

Step 4

Cut a 6" [15.24 cm] strip of polyurethane foam and attach across the inside edge of the shield to cushion the forehead.
TIP: Be sure the foam covers all staples.
