10 DIY Face Masks You Can Make

April 21, by Shellie Wilson. Leave a Comment

We have been asked for an updated version of our previous article 7 DIY Masks and so in this article we show you a roundup of different styles of face mask.

These are all free patterns for making masks or surgical masks. Most countries are experiencing a shortage due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 disease and people are wanting to find a suitable backup. Some states have implemented compulsory usage of masks.

The CDC now recommends that all Americans wear a face mask.

The main aim of a fabric mask is to prevent your own bodily fluids from being expelled or you being exposed to someone else’s bodily fluids.

The best fabric for surgical face masks is high thread count cotton that can be easily washed and NON woven fabric as a filter that can be replaced several times during the day. You can purchase readymade carbon filters too. Looking for other filter options for your DIY mask check out these options.

Craft passion has a great pdf template.

This mask is created using a Knitting pattern. I am not sure how great this one would be without a filter but, anything is better than nothing when it comes to the flu. Here is a crochet version with inserts for filters. Both of these patterns are not free.

Not up to making your own surgical masks? You can still buy handmade fabric masks on Etsy.  And it is a great way to support a local handmade business owner.

Check out this article about all the different options for safe and suitable mask filters.   Wondering how to strengthen your mask? Add interfacing. We also found a supplier for the metal nose clips.

We have also added a tutorial for making the Face Shields for medical staff which can be found here.

Need to make a lot of masks? Check out this amazing Mask Cutting Machine. It cuts 6 masks out at a time!
