Here is New Zealand we have gone back into lockdown. It is now advised that if we need to go out we should wear a face mask so I have been busy looking at DIY face masks options. It turns out that there are SO many options! To make things a little easier I have compiled this list of 5 different video tutorials. They are all simple to make masks and easy to follow tutorials.

Of course part of the issue with making your own face masks is accessing the resources to make them. If you need a mask in a hurry or are unable to order supplies online then we have found a sock mask and have included our tea towel mask photo tutorial below. Both of these options are no-sew. Most of the other options can be hand-sewn or quickly sewn using a machine.

We are loving the simple yet classic design of the first face mask featured in this video. It is simple enough to hand sew and won’t take long to make! It is also very simple to adjust the size so great if you are making a face mask for both children and adults. You can also add an extra layer of fabric if wanted. Ideally, keep the layers different colors so you can tell which side faces outwards easily.

The second mask option shown in this video is a simple three-layer mask. This is a stylish mask that is very easy and quick to sew with a sewing machine.

Both of these masks an option for elastic around the ears or head or ribbon is shown. There is much more information and patterns available over on the blog Treasurie.

No-Sew Tea Towel Face Mask

If you need a mask in a hurry then a tea towel/ kitchen towel will work well. This is a no-sew mask however you can sew the hair elastics on by doing a few stitches where the tea towel fabric folds over at the sides.

1. You will need, x1 tea towel, x2 hair ties/ elastics (larger are better), scissors. If you have sewing zig-zag scissors use these, they are great to limit fraying.
2. Fold the top of the tea towel over so it has two layers. You want the maks to cover from the nose down to under your chin. Add a little extra length as you will fold the top over for the nose section.
3. Fold the top down again, this part will fold back up to make a nice fit around the nose. Measure against your face (or the face that the mask is for) to make sure it covers the nose and chin.
4. Cut off the extra bottom section of the tea towel.
5. Place a hair elastic at each end.
6. Fold the ends over towards the inside of the mask. Measure to your face and trim off the ends if needed. You want the tea towel to fold over enough so the elastics don’t come loose but not so much that you are breathing through more than the two layers.
7. If you have a needle and thread you can cut off the excess tea towel and sew the sides. You can even add a length of ribbon to connect the elastics around the back of the head if around the ear option is uncomfortable for you or your child.
