How to make your face mask at home?
Worried about COVID-19? You do need a face mask! Don’t let anyone convince you differently. A face mask may save your life and the life of someone else. Facemasks are hard to find if you want to buy one, but making it at home is actually fast and easy. It’s even easier if you have a vacuum cleaner bag handy.
According to an article published in the Cambridge University Press, a vacuum cleaner bag has similar filtration to a surgical mask.
Please see the step by step process on how to make a face mask out of a vacuum cleaner bag and hair ties.
1. Find a high efficient vacuum cleaner bag, and cut off the cardboard
2. Cut the vacuum cleaner bag along two seams.
3. Lay the bag material out flat and cut it to the dimensions of a Curad Antiviral Facemask, 6 ½ inches by 3 ¾ inches. You should be able to make approximately 5 masks per vacuum cleaner bag.
4. Next use a hard utensil to make a hole so you can affix a hair tie to the bag material.
5. Then insert the hair tie though each hole and loop it around, then pull the hair tie firm.
6. The mask is done and ready to be used.
