Step by step instructions on how to make a reusable face mask with an added filter pocket and wire to shape the mask around the nose area.
Perfect for protection against the current Coronavirus!
- No paper pattern or face mask needed to make this.
You will need:
1) fabric (38cm x 19cm) + 20cm extra for binding edges (more or less).
You can use an old shirt/dress etc. if you don’t have fabric readily available.
2) elastic (any will do) around 50cm needed.
3) a piece of wire - any size from around 10cm - 17cm.
(any closed with no sharp edges will be suitable, the wire I used in this video is a “twist tie” wire from a food packaging)
*if the wire you have has raw sharp edges cover the edges with a casing, for example glue gun the ends or turn them under using a plier.
A sewing machine is needed and an iron.
(Or if you have a lot of patience you could hand sew it all!)
Let’s get sewing!
Be a kind neighbor and make one for an elderly or vulnerable person, or just be self aware and start by making yourself one!
May you all stay in the best health and let’s wear our masks and beat off this Coronavirus!
