Aaargh. Looks like suffocation.

You're an idiot if you wear a mask.

Perfect method

The mask order doesn't specify what type of mask other than to say a face covering. Why not just tie the bandana behind your head? Wear it like they did in the old western movies when the stage coach was getting robbed by the bad guy. That's what I do. Funny how if someone tried to go into a bank with a mask on they were probably going to rob the bank but now its required! Life sure makes some funny turns, don't it?

Perfect if you don't need to breathe.

Since I believe wearing a mask is useless, but being made mandatory, I will use this mask WITHOUT all the unnecessary folds. I can't stand not being able to breathe fresh air, so mine will be made paper-thin. Thanks for the design idea.

Love, love, love this
I thank you so much!!✌️❤️

Here's a solution to the mask dilemma.. don't wear one! smh!

I did the bandanna ones for the longest time but breathing through all of those layers of fabric is quite challenging to say the least!

there is a nude person behind you, dont look

Thank you for this video! I’ve been wearing these bandana masks for weeks , they work great!

I love you 😘

Thank you so much! I used the ironable elastic I can machine dry from Etsy and it worked well https://www.etsy.com/listing/783738428/

I cant breath with the coffee filter.I tried this before the video with filters I found at home.

I add 3 Hair Ties Together on Each end and Tie it in the Back of My Head.

I followed the instructions, however the hair ties fold my ears over and fall off. This mask does not stay on my face! Anyone have a clue why that's happening?

This is really helpful Than you!<3

The middle part comes off when I pull on the bands ☹️

This is even better https://youtu.be/I4VPlBrmfFs

This did not help me at all. You did it too fast I had to slow it down extra slowed. And I followed all the steps correctly but my mask didn't come out good. I rate this 1 out of 10.
