@@sand3882 PLEASE… JUST STOP! if N95 masks were the “end all-be all” of this virus, then EVERYONE would be required to wear one, yet we are not! This virus is CURABLE and the fact that we are TOLD to wear a mask at all is absolute BS!

@@sand3882 I never said it was!

I tried two twister seals together. They're bendable for the bridge of your nose.

Wires from coffee bags work really well for masks. They're coated, strong and flat.

Please provide the product you used as a nose piece. Is it plastic or wire??

@@charlotteweaver852 I use plastic coated garden wire or coffee bag wire ties (I cut the wire ties in half cuz they are too wide). It may not be what is exactly used in this video, but it works wonders! I get plastic coated garden wire at the Dollar Tree and the coffee ties I ordered on Amazon a while ago. I hope this helps.

It's "modeled" after an N95. No where does she claim it to be N95. Why would anyone think a cotton mask is N95?

Con las medidas que proporciona se hace fácilmente el patrón. 🤗

Olha pelas medidas 23 por 14 normalmente nas máscaras 3d que é parecida e com outras que já fiz equivaleria a um tamanho m.

It's just the Style/cut. It's more of a KN95 style mask.

Hope these links help answer your question. When making a reusable mask, thread count and the layers would also play a role in the effectiveness of the filtering the sizes of the particulate matters. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9487666/ smartairfilters.com/en/blog/comparison-mask-standards-rating-effectiveness/

@@mazelf9779 Thank you -very helpful

Many rulers have inches on one side and centimeters on the other. If you can’t find one use google to convert cm to in.

She used 3 layers of fabric. Check with CDC guidelines on mask making.

Agreed, and all those pin holes! I use no pins on my 3D mask. Check out Daisy M for her tutorial.

Also don't use elastic, farm yarn is better on the ears!

Thank you for the replies but to San D, where does it say we are expecting N95 mask what is your point, my point is I want the best most effective home made mask that fits correctly and intelligence has been put into the construction around 1 micron partials .Please don’t reply so negatively to a good question asked.

LOL!😂😂😂

What is N95?

@@carolempluckrose4188 you should know. It is in your title. Face mask sewing Tutorial N 95 model.DIY Face mask."

@@lcruce keyword, "model". It's "modeled" after an N95. No where does she claim it to be N95. Why would anyone think a cotton mask is N95? Shame on YOU for not reading then jumping on someone who is merely sharing an idea.

@@EyeOnTexas mind your own business. Stay out of mine. I am 73 and don't get things right sometime. Also N95 has a valve in it that hers doesn't have so be ashamed of yourself.
