To make a handmade mask, you can follow these steps:
Materials needed:
- Fabric (cotton is recommended)
- Elastic bands or fabric ties
- Sewing machine or needle and thread
- Scissors
- Pins
Instructions:
1. Cut two pieces of fabric into rectangles, about 9x6 inches each.
2. Place the two pieces of fabric together with the patterned sides facing each other.
3. Sew along the long edges of the fabric, leaving the short edges open.
4. Turn the fabric right side out so the pattern is on the outside.
5. Fold the short edges over about 1/2 inch and sew a seam to create a tunnel for the elastic bands or fabric ties.
6. Thread the elastic bands or fabric ties through the tunnels and tie them securely.
7. Pleat the sides of the mask to fit your face comfortably.
8. Sew along the pleats to secure them in place.
9. Your handmade mask is now ready to wear!
Remember to wash your mask regularly and follow proper hygiene practices when using it.
