Here you go step-by-step the first DIY project from my collaboration with Al-Mashhadiya TV show on Al Mayadeen TV Channel. Learn how to make your own medical face mask without any sewing to protect yourself and others during the Coronavirus pandemic.
All you need to start is:
– Tools to draw and cut the template
– Old fabric for the mask base (preferably patterned or colored ones! But you can always get a simple plain fabric and draw on it when ur done)
– Inner textile layer
– Elastics
And now Let’s go!
STEP 1: Cut template according to face measurements
STEP 2: Cut 4 pieces of fabric using the template
STEP 3: Cut 2 pieces from the interfacing
STEP 4: Glue interfacing onto 2 of the fabric pieces
STEP 5: Glue along curved edge of the other 2 pieces
STEP 6: Glue along the curve of the filter pieces; right sides of the fabric together
STEP 7: Once dry, flip right side out and place right sides together
STEP 8: Insert elastic into each side of the mask
STEP 9: Glue all the way around while leaving a small opening at the bottom. Secure the mask with paper clips.
STEP 10: Dry at least 4 hours then trim corners
STEP 11: Flip right side out
STEP 12: Fold bottom steam in and glue
et Voilà… it’s done!
