My family and I are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and in our church, for those who are not familiar, children are baptized at 8 years old. One of my girls is turning 8 next month and is excitedly preparing for her baptism.
With the current situation her baptism will look a little different than pre-pandemic baptisms. They same restrictions we have everywhere, masks, social distancing, and small groups will apply here as well. When my mom found a pack of white child size masks for cheap she asked me if I wanted her to pick them up for Maren to wear to her baptism, not that a white mask is absolutely necessary but she will be wearing white so it will go nicely. We have always bought our girls a pretty, new, white dress to wear for their baptism day, and it was one of the things Maren was very excited about after seeing her older sisters get their white dresses.
With a pretty white dress I thought it would be fun to do something to make the masks a little bit more special too. Because I wanted to keep them white I didn't really want to add color to the masks so instead I chose a white glitter iron on. I thought it would add a very subtle design, while still keeping the simplicity of the white.
There were 5 masks in the pack I got so I made 5 different designs that I thought related in some way to a child's baptism day. A temple, a number 8, a rainbow (for the song I Like to Look for Rainbows), one that says I am a Child of God, and last one that says It's great to be 8.
They probably turned out a little more subtle than I was envisioning, and it was not easy to get good pictures of the white on white designs, but Maren loved them and that was the most important thing.
