Make Face Masks for Your Loved Ones with Froedtert’s DIY Face Mask Tutorial

I would like to share Froedtert’s tutorial for how to make a cloth face mask for protection from COVID-19 with you.  I followed the instructions and sewed a mask in under an hour.

I did just one thing differently.  I used ribbons for ties instead of sewing straps.  You could also use elastic or strips of stretchy tee shirt material for ties.

If you can’t sew, try using staples, super glue, or hot glue to secure the seams and pleats of your mask.
​
If you have extra materials and time on your hands, consider making masks for healthcare professionals and essential workers in your area.  They’re most certainly facing protective gear shortages.  Let’s go, makers!

Take extra care and stay safe, my friends.
