Make sure that you have the filter material in the right direction for airflow. The arrows are marked on the cardboard edges of the filter. Filtered airflow should be TOWARDS your nose and mouth. I would also suggest that you minimize creating holes in the mask by using Magic Mend to put most of the pieces together. Or use it to seal your seams. Especially in the center of the mask. This will help to keep more viruses and bacteria from entering through the mask, extending the usefulness of your filter. Needle holes are Huge to microbes! It’s beautiful thoughtful people like you and your family that help us all to get through this crisis. Thanks again for sharing. God Bless You! Stay safe 😷

That's what I was going to say! I covered my seams with a skinny strip of iron-on interfacing. And so the wire can be removed for washing, make a small pocket above the filter pocket, leaving it open on the same side as the filter opening. Then both can be removed.

She is using cotton fabric, when you wash and dry it, the heat will cause the fibers to relax back into themselves. I know there are alot of tutorials that are showing the use of fabric adhesives for those without a machine or not comfortable with hand sewing , but sewing really is the preferred option here. If you really don't want to sew, I would recommend just using fabric/bandanna and hair ties for a quick no sew mask. I really don't believe fabric adhesives/glues will holdup long term for this application. I have family and friends in the medical community. In order to be properly used, these masks need to be very durable and hold up to repeated hot water washings. Each person should have multiple masks. Everytime a mask is removed for any reason, reentering your car, etc. you will need a new mask, the old one is now possibly contaminated. Remove the mask by the straps, do not touch the front, place into a bag and wash or sanitize hands. When reentering another public area, put on a new mask. When removing mask, repeat. Throw them into the wash at home. They can be washed with regular laundry, as long as the hot water cycle is used. You can hand wash in hot water if no machine is available. 😊

a tip if you really want to use elastic but can't find any at the store: Just cut out the elastic from an old pair of underwear you don't need anymore :) most underwear will contain a long strip of elastic in the top hem!

The Minecraft one is too cute. My son would love that one. I've made a few without the filter pocket and now time to make some with the filter pocket. Thanks so much for sharing !

Hey everyone!!! I put so much into this video to bring you all the best information but didn’t want it to be too much. Please visit the blog as it has very detail instructions. *please buy non-fiberglass filters and make sure they have a high MPR! They don’t have to be 3M but they have the Filtere and they are some of the best.

I’m definitely making some for my family this weekend.

THANK YOU!!! I have been researching masks for 3 days and this has got to be the BEST tutorial for DIY masks that I have seen. SO easy to follow.

I foresee a future (after this pandemic ends) when people wear face masks to filter out all kinds of pollutants and pathogens. In a typical urban setting people inhale exhaust fumes from traffic, especially on major streets. Also on heavy allergy days this type of mask would make a sensitive person's life so much better. We are learning all kinds of ways to protect ourselves from external threats to our health. Optimizing our physical well being is a great idea.

Use old clothing 100% cotton or order fabric on Amazon. If you drive go to Walmart in Long Island (Valley Stream). They sell crafts and fabric. Order the elastic off Amazon if none in Walmart. It’s really difficult to find 2800 filters. I’ll probably order the next best thing online and maybe double the layers. Just trying different options.

I have researched DIY masks online for WEEKS and yours by far is the easiest and most informative. I was so confused by others about the measurements to make a pattern but you simplified it. I have made 8 masks for my family (5 adults and 3 children). I am still skeptical about using the 3M filter but I do have them ready to put in the pockets. Again, great job! Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Also, I used pipe cleaners for the nose and chin area. I was able to zig-zag sew over it to attach in place.

Thank you for showing to to properly get and create the right size for a person. That is very helpful!

Putting this on my schedule this week! Awesome video!

Good recommendation to use tshirt material. These ties are better than elastic behind the ear or head. I didnt want to cut up any tshirts, but bought some yardage. Cut a 1 inch strip and pull the strip to lengthen it until it is very taut. The strip will roll into soft, flexible, elastc tubes and hold this shape. It also greatly increases the length of usable material. If you cut the strip horizontally, it will roll to show the pattern. If you cut it verticaly, the wrong side of the fabric will be on the outside. Test this, as I may have it backward.
