Most important is to wear a mask!

What do you need to do a face mask?

  • fabric: old linen, pillow cases, or old clothes (any light, cotton fabrics).
  • head ties: yarn from old tee-shirt (~1″)
  • nose squeezer: metal wire plastic coated twist ties or chenille wire or electric wire (20 AWG) or Ethernet cable.
  • transparent window: vinyl film such as bags used to package bedsheets.
  • sewing machine, scissor, tread
  • pattern: Olson mask or a mix with the Fu face mask. Custom pattern for mask/shield on demand.

Can you help find material that can be repurposed to make masks or shield?
