In Houston I am watching positive cases rapidly rise and wearing a face mask in pubilc is required by my county so I wanted to share these resources with you again. You can make your own face mask (even if you don’t have a sewing machine)! Please share this post with friends, I hope it is a useful resource.

No-Sew Face Mask with Fabric Ear LoopsMake using a t-shirt (cut with Cricut or scissors) |

Face Mask with Filter PocketFace mask I am sewing with a filter pocket and using bias tape I made as the ties (or you can use ribbon).

Make Bias Tape to use as Face Mask TiesHow 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. |
