Want to make your own face mask but don't know how to sew? Here's a step by step guide for making a face mask without sewing at all. Or if you want to make another style of no-sew face mask, check out this tutorial.
If you have some sewing skills up your sleeve, see the two styles of face masks you can make (style one or style two). Or see the complete list of all face mask tutorials and get creating.
This no-sew mask is very easy to make. All you will need is:
Take a piece of paper and fold it in half long ways.
Put a coaster (or whatever circular object you have) at the end of the paper and trace around one edge of it. This will make the end of the rectangle end in a semi-circle shape.
Fold the rectangle of paper in half.
Cut around the curved edge you traced so both ends are circular.
Open up the paper. Get a ruler and make a mark 1.5 inches from the edge of the paper. Do this on both sides.
Using the mark as a reference, draw a long oval shape. This is where your ear will go.
Draw another long oval shape on the other side. Now both ear holes are marked.
Fold your paper in half long ways and cut out the ear holes.
Open up the paper.
Place your fabric on the table, then put the paper on top of the fabric.
Mark around the edges of the paper.
Cut out the fabric around the paper.
Separate the two layers of fabric and fold one piece of fabric in half longways.
Fold the fabric in half again, then cut out the ear holes.
This is what your mask should look like.
To put the face mask on, hold the middle section over your nose while you loop one ear hole over each ear.
All done! This is what your mask will look like finished. See below for the whole video.
