I am sharing 2 ideas to create your own face masks.
Many ideas and a variety of directions can now be found online, so be creative and make yourself a cute mask!
This is what I did:
I scanned a sheet of MacKenzie-Childs gift wrap paper and printed it onto computer printer fabric. (you can purchase it HERE) and used a 'painters mask' as a base:
I sprayed temporary adhesive onto the mask to hold the fabric in place so I could trim it and pin it:
I used a simple basting stitch to secure the fabric onto the mask...
...and stitched around the mask:
I am not sure if this meets safety standards, but it sure is cute!!
And here I am, at my "quarantined-best", desperate for a hair cut, no make-up, but ready to fight off germs!
Or you can use a bandana....
....and rubber bands....
...for a mask to cover more of your face:
But, I really don't see myself going very many places and have stayed home for the past 3 weeks, except for a few outdoor walking adventures!
Whatever you do, stay safe, be cautious and keep your hands clean!!
Good for you! The painter's mask is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI need to check for painter's masks in our garage storage, good idea. Stay home, stay safe! 😘
ReplyDeleteYou made such cute masks! Stay safe and be well.
ReplyDeleteOf course you would create an MKC face mask! I saw the tshirt/rubber band tutorial by the Surgeon General, I am going to make that one when I have to venture out to the store next...btw, you look really cute in your masks Patti!
