Conceptualizing DIY
To get started, you’ll need:
- paper towels (at least a few sheets per mask)
- rubber bands (shoelaces or string will also work)
- T-shirt cuttings (if you want a washable and reusable mask)
Steps to make the mask:
- Begin by taking two or three squares of paper towel or T-shirt cutting and layering them on top of each other,
- Before you proceed, be sure that the size of paper or cloth you’re using is large enough to cover your mouth and nose,
- Now begin folding the layers of paper or the cloth into a long, thin rectangle.
- Work with the ends of the mask by applying glue or sewing its corners,
- Now punch the ends to form a tiny hole from where you can attach rubber band or the string
- Firstly, ensure the length of string you’ll require for perfect fit and tie them across the holes,
- The mask is ready to use.
Make sure you use these masks only when its necessary and replace or wash them regularly.
