How to make a DIY face mask without any sewing machine
It is a very simple way to do it. In this method, you can give your mask your preferable cool look. As it is summer season, I used ocean and sky-colored fabric to make a face mask at home. But in this method, the mask will be slightly rounded. Moreover, with only a single piece of material, you can make it that’s what makes it super interesting.
Requirements:
- Fabric (Preferable cotton)
- Needle and thread
- Scissors
- Pins
- A round plate to use as a template (10-12 inches or 24-28cm in diameter)
- A wire (Optional; use it for the hack parts)
How to do it
- Firstly, place your cotton fabric on a plain surface. Then place a round plate of 10-12 inches or 24-28cm in diameter at the top of the fabric and draw a circle with pen or pencil on the fabric then cut the cloth with that measurement.
- After cutting it, fold it twice that will give your round fabric four curved triangle edges. Then cut through the edge or side of the triangle and you will get four separate shapes.
- Now place one small piece of fabric over another in a way that the wrong side of the cloth will be on the other side and the other will be on the inner side. Do the same with the rest of the two parts of the shape.
- Now stitch both of the pair along the edge of the round shape.** Ensure that you left no space left while sewing. But leave a small space at one end for entering elastic or ties.
- After sewing both of the pairs, unfold the triangle and then you will get a dome-like structure. Place one of the pairs on the top of the other pair, front sides together.
- After that, you just fold the one hand that you left for inserting elastic or tie. Preferable size for the elastic is Adult- 8inches, Teen- 7 inches, and child- 6 inches. Then, after inserting the tie sew it down. It can be done easily by hand. Do exactly the same on the other end.
