DISCLAIMER: I am in no way stating that this will help prevent coronavirus from spreading or you catching it. This is not medical advice. There is evidence for and against the use of masks linked to the environment you are in and the type of mask. It is important to listen to government advice and information from reliable sources such as the World Health Organisation.
I thought I’d just do a little post on how I made a diy face mask purely because some people might be interested in how to do it as they are in high demand. If nothing else it gives you something to do. I don’t even know if I’m going to need to wear it to be honest but I thought I’d rather have one and not use it, especially as more countries around the world are beginning to suggest wearing them. Also it might keep my face warm when queuing for the supermarket on a cold day haha.
All you need to follow what I did is a bandana and 2 hair bobbles. I seen a video on Instagram and copied that and I’m sure there’ll be tutorials on YouTube. These are the basic steps:
- Fold the bandana in half
- Place a bobble 3/4 of the way on each end
- Tuck each end into the middle
- Stretch bobbles to create mask
Again this is a post I decided to do purely because this is such a strange time and will hopefully never happen again as to when this is needed.
Other things to take into account is to remember if you do this it would be a good idea to wash it regularly and continue to wash your hands and not touch your face when outside.
