How can I improvise a reusable, washable cover or wrap to protect my eye bags?

cafe_carl

My optometrist "prescribed" these reusable, microwavable eye bags as treatment. I must cloak, sheathe wrap these eye bags in something, as a protective layer against my oils, pus, tears, etc... But the ones below - with Velcro - don't fit! How can I invent something similar, with Velcro? I love the Velcro, as it simplifies the wrapping. thanks! Source for pics -...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

I would recommend not wrapping or encasing them in anything. Instead get some handkerchiefs or small face cloths or the like, and put them between your face and the bag just while you're using them. As needed, wash the cloth and use a fresh one. Trying to create an actual bag with sewing and velcro will be a lot of work. But you're not going to walk around the house with these things over your eyes. You're going to lie down and put the things on your eyes for a while. So an ordinary flat piece of cloth (one you very likely already own) will work fine as a barrier to protect the warm thing. Don't overcomplicate it.
