✂️DIY Face Mask Resources: Sew, No-Sew, Hacks & more

by Freebies4Mom on May 13, 2020 1:25 pm

Need a face mask? You can make one (even if you don’t have a sewing machine)! Please share this post with friends, I hope it is a useful resource.

DIY Face Mask Resources

	No-Sew Face Mask with Fabric Ear Loops Make using a t-shirt (cut with Cricut or scissors)
	No-Sew Face Mask with Hair Ties Make a face mask using a bandana and elastic hair ties
	Face Mask with Filter Pocket Face mask I am sewing with a filter pocket and using bias tape I made as the ties (or you can use ribbon). I like this pattern the best because of the secure fit, the filter pocket is the same size as the mask and the pattern was developed by consulting with a hospital employee.
	Fabrics & Filters Discover the best fabric to use to make a face mask. Plus what can you use to make a filter? This is how I discovered that reusable grocery bags can be used as filters (the material is similar to that used to make masks)
	Ear Savers made with Cricut I am making these Ear Savers from plastic school folders for my brother who has to wear a mask all day at work.
	Make Bias Tape to use as Face Mask Ties How to make bias tape from fabric. This is the best option to secure your face mask after I explored using elastic, hair ties and ribbon. Fabric is the easiest material to obtain (if you don’t have it, start cutting up tablecloths or bedding like duvet covers), it gives your face mask a more secure fit (it’s adjustable) and it resolves the issue of any discomfort due to elastic going over your ears.
	Filter Materials for Face Masks Filter fabric I’m using plus a long list of different types of filters you can use. Add a filter to your mask whether it’s sewn or no-sew to provide extra protection.
	Face Mask with Elastic Hair Ties How to easily sew a face mask with elastic hair ties.
	Face Mask using Brother ScanNCut How to make a face mask using a Brother ScanNCut.
	Million Mask Challenge Resources to make masks including face mask kits and donation address.
	Donate Face Masks, Get Gift Card Donate 25 face masks and Tieks will give you a $50 gift card for shoes.

✂️DIY Face Masks: Fabrics & Filters

by Freebies4Mom on May 5, 2020 4:04 pm

✂️DIY Face Masks: Fabrics & Filters I like this post by Jennifer Maker that helps you determine the best fabric for your DIY Face Mask and it also talks about filter fabrics. After reading it, I decided to switch from using a 30 MERV air filter as filter fabric to using fabric-like reusable grocery bags. I’m simply cutting up the resuable grocery bags I have and inserting them into the cotton face masks I am sewing.

Be sure to checkout my DIY Face Mask Resources post that rounds up everything I’ve shared to help you make your own face masks (with or without a sewing machine).
