How to Make An Improvised Paper Towel Face Mask
With these current recommendations to wear a cloth facemask from the Surgeon General and The CDC, many people are asking how they can make and clean a mask, the answer is pretty diverse because there are all kinds of ways to make these face masks. One idea I recently stumbled upon was the paper towel mask. The paper towel mask has to be the shining star of all the mask tutorials I have ever seen. To make this mask you just fold and staple a paper towel while adding rubber bands to the sides. I am not even kidding when I tell you how easy this mask is to make. The paper towel mask would be perfect for making a stockpile of disposable masks, think of how many masks you could get our of a roll of paper towels, an endless supply. I love this tutorial and I know you will too.
Materials:
- Paper Towels (or 1 paper towel per mask)
- A Stapler
- 2 Rubber Bands (per mask)
Directions:
Take a paper towel and smooth it out on a flat surface. Then you fold your paper towel back and forth in an accordion pattern.
Then you simply place the rubber bands at the ends and fold the accordion pleating to the inside and staple down.
This is the best mask tutorial I have ever found, I really love the mask as well it is both useful and attractive, a double win.
