What’s so complicated about it, it would seem, I went to the pharmacy, bought this mask and that’s it. But, after visiting several pharmacies in order to purchase this very mask, it turned out that they were simply not available anywhere! And in order not to expose yourself and your relatives to danger, I suggest you make such a mask for free and in just two minutes, and you don’t need a sewing machine or glue! Even a schoolchild can make such a mask.
To make a mask you will need:
A cord or elastic band 80cm long, a paper clip from a bag of bread or a roll, a small piece of clean cotton fabric (can be used, colored).
From the tools: tape measure or centimeter, scissors, iron, ruler, pencil and two minutes of free time.
Making a medical mask with your own hands
So let's get started. We cut off a lace or elastic band 80 cm long, and using scissors, we pierce two holes in the paper clip from the bag of bread.
We put the paperclip on the lace. Placing it 25cm from the end of the lace. After this, we tie the ends of the lace with a knot.
The first, and perhaps the most difficult part is finished. Any cotton fabric is suitable for the filter element. This could be an old unnecessary shirt, an unnecessary sheet or pillowcase, or, for example, a handkerchief.
A rectangle of 36 cm x 18 cm is cut out of the fabric and ironed.
After ironing, all possible viruses and bacteria will be destroyed, the fabric will be even and smooth. Now the fabric needs to be folded three times and ironed again. Open the folded rectangle and place the prepared lace inside so that the paperclip is in the middle of the top edge.
Fold the edges of the rectangle to make three layers of fabric. All. The mask is ready.
The mask is put on the face in the same way as a pharmaceutical medical mask: The mask is placed on the face, with the clip placed in the area of the bridge of the nose, and the loops of the lace are placed behind the ears. The mask needs to be straightened on the face, and the clip is pressed around the bridge of the nose.
Now you have reliable protection against viruses and germs.
I can recommend cutting out several spare rectangles in advance - filters for the mask and then you will always have spare masks on hand. Masks made of colored fabrics look very cool. I recommend.
