It’s Game Day in Kansas City! The Chiefs are playing Pittsburg in the NFL Wild Card Game. I have a DIY project I will be wearing today with my Chiefs mask, and I want to share it with you. I love the Kansas City community’s team spirit and the creativity celebrating our team, check out this wonderful knit scarf on a statue in my neighborhood.

Make a chain for your mask or eye glasses. The soft t-shirt knit is so comfortable around your neck and the buttons add a little weight to the cord to keep it hanging in place.
This is the version we made with pearl buttons and wire. If you love buttons like I do, you should check out my Vintage Modern Makers Pearl Button Course. I share both history and projects in both video tutorials and PDF content.
