DIY Face mask

 
 

Want to make a face mask at home?

In this tutorial, you will learn how to make 4 styles of face masks at home.

This is a comparison video of existing tutorials from FABRIC PATCH and CRICUT (apologies for pronouncing Cricut wrong in this video)

Both companies have Free download patterns, which I have collected in the below link.

I choose these two companies out of the search of 43,600,000 Face mask tutorials search results. Because these masks are very quick and easy to make, with clear instructions for beginners to advance to follow.

But most importantly they are fashionable.

Also note, that you still must maintain the health and safety regulations surrounding Covic 19, including social distances and washing hands. Wearing a mask will not exempt you from these responsibilities.

Let's show love and stay safe 🤗
