We know that the CDC has said that we should all wear face coverings when we leave the house. But, EVERYONE is out of masks — and they should be going to healthcare workers, anyway.
Fabric masks are the next best thing, but have you tried to get supplies? It seems they are nearly non-existent.
Well, don’t worry, because we have done the investigative work for you. We have found the things you will need to make a cool fabric face mask of your own.
You can follow a template that you need to sew, or you can follow the no-sew template. Either one will work.
Here are the supplies you will need to make your own face mask.
