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/

This video is really helpful, thank you very much for sharing . I feel a bit more confident to make my own now.
The perfect video. Exactly what i was hoping to find. Thank you so much! xoxo Pam, still Kelli's mom – fighting to Enact Kelli's Law in SC.
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
It's mandatory tomorrow so thank you for putting this up. Big help.
I "stole" some rubber bands from work but I wonder if fishing line would work too. Heavy/Thick fishing line.
Probably completely useless anyway.
cuddnt find no bands …..had to go in the home tool box department grab the zip ties … :?/ shrug…
Great video, thx, just going to get s few pieces of very thin wire instead and make a few for family & friends.
