DIY FACE MASKS
- 2 (6" x 9") rectangles fabric
- 4 ties or strings
- Sewing machine or needle & thread
- Scissors
- Pins or clips

1. Put 1 rectangle fabric, right-side up on a flat surface.
2. Put 1 tie in each corner with them going towards the middle of the rectangle (not off the sides); pin or clip in place.
3. Put the remaining rectangle of fabric, right-side down, on top and clip in place.
4. Sew around the rectangle leaving a gap so you can turn the mask right-side out. Trim the fabric in the corners if you'd like.
5. Turn the mask right-side out. Iron flat and fold up 2 pleats, overlapping about 1/4 inch; pin or clip in place.
6. Sew around the entire rectangle again & trim any threads—you're done!
