This mouthguard has a pleasant wearing comfort - and thanks to the soft rubber for kids a nice and colorful alternative!
Smaller children can only help to a limited extent, but by participating they may be able to better understand the current situation.
Choose a soft wide hair rubber
Cut the hair rubber apart
Roll the rubber strips apart in width
Cut into three equally wide strips of length
Two of the cut rubber strips are needed for a mouthguard!
Cut cotton fabric. Children (children's garden age): 20 cm x 22 cm
Adults: 22 cm x 43 cm fabric
The long side is beaten up (beautiful side is inside!)
Fabric lies exactly on each other! From the outside, are marked 5 cm (mark!)
These are sewn from the outside with the sewing machine!
The sewn fold is now folded and ironed apart
Ironed fold is not entirely in the middle
At the lateral opening the rubber is now inserted and sewn on
One rubber band is sewn on one side, the other on the other side (is something on "train" otherwise it is too loose behind the ears)
That's what a finished page looks like!
Sew other side the same way!
Draw closer! In addition, halve the piece of fabric
Mark: 1cm x 3 cm
Cut fabric triangle
See picture
Pull fabric apart and put the edges across...
Sewing these together
Cut minimally on the crease with the scissors
Turn the piece of fabric
Top and bottom fractures are now sewn together (possibly iron again)
Up and down is now a clean seam
On the sides the mouthguard is still too wide, so we will make two folds to the left and right each and sew off. The upper double fold is about 2 cm wide
Fold and fasten fabric like in the picture
Down also but a little smaller
Overall, the lateral width of the mouthguard is brought to about 7 cm (can also be wider, but then on both sides)
Try the plugged-in before sewing and possibly re-adjust it again. The plugged-in can be slightly arched, then the mouthguard is better on. Only when it fits ready sew!
That's how it looks done! Repeat process on the other side.
So you can make many colorful mouthguards! Have fun imitating
