Step 1: Choose a Suitable Fabric

Start by selecting a fabric that is 100% cotton. Cotton provides good filtration and breathability. Look for a fabric that has a tight weave, as this will provide better protection.

Step 2: Measure and Cut the Fabric

Measure a rectangle of fabric that is approximately 9 inches by 6 inches. This size can be adjusted to fit your face comfortably. Cut two rectangles of the same size.

Step 3: Sew the Fabric Together

Place the two fabric rectangles on top of each other, with the patterned sides facing inward. Pin them together to keep them in place. Sew along the edges, leaving a small opening on one side.

Step 4: Add Elastic Bands

Cut two pieces of elastic, each measuring approximately 7 inches. Attach one end of each elastic to the corners of the fabric using a needle and thread. Ensure they are securely attached, as these will go around your ears to hold the mask in place.

Step 5: Finalize Your Mask

Turn the fabric inside out through the small opening that was left unstitched. Ensure all the corners are pushed out. Sew the opening shut to complete your mask.

Usage and Maintenance

Now that you have your own protective mask, it is important to know how to use and maintain it properly. Here are some guidelines:

• Always wash your hands thoroughly before wearing or removing the mask.
• Place the mask over your nose and mouth, ensuring it covers your face completely.
• Adjust the elastic bands around your ears for a secure fit.
• Do not touch the mask while wearing it. If you need to adjust or remove it, use the elastic bands.
• Wash the mask with soap and warm water after each use.
• Allow the mask to air dry completely before using it again.
