I have a crafts idea but I need help

Okay, I have an idea. I was just watching Rooster Teeth's RWBY (quick Review very much anime, and if you like anime you get this giddy smile watching it, so far). Anyway, in episode 3, the main character has a sleep mask with red triangles, but to me it looked like a Gundam's eyes. And it hit me. If you build Gundams, you might see where I am going. Gundam model kits always include stickers for those untalented at the art of painting, but the stickers for the eyes are usually one long strip (link to a picture of an SD kit sticker below), which might lend itself to being printed on a sleeping mask or some sort of eye sash if made from fabric you could see through. I think it might be a good sort of fan created idea, probably an extremely limited market (I know I find sleep masks annoying and Gundam isn't as popular here as it is in Asia) but I want a second opinion on this idea. I don't know anything about printing and getting supplies or even creating them myself but for some reason it feels like something I could do. Is there anybody here who could give me some advice or point me in the right direction?

Re: I have a crafts idea but I need help

Instead of printing, why not just cut out the pattern on material then assemble as if it's a quilt. Then make a sleeping mask out of it. There's fabric backing that's used to stiffen surfaces, and it's machine washable.

I mean, they're just geometric shapes.

If you end up doing this, you could also make some scarves with Gundam face mask patterns to complete the look.

Or pop the pattern onto the neck of a turtle neck sweater and just pull it up.
