Background
Homemade face masks are not as effective as surgical masks or N95 respirators, but most experts say they are better than nothing when it comes to preventing the spread of the coronavirus.
Because there is a shortage of masks and respirators for health care workers, who need this equipment most, many people are making their own masks at home.
You can make your own face mask at home with common materials, whether you know how to sew or not – here’s how.

How To Make a Pleated Face Mask // Washable, Reusable, No Sewing Required
We are sharing the simplest, easiest and useful mask tutorial. No cutting or sewing is required. (Yes, it’s true!)
Supplies:
- Handkerchief or piece of t-shirt material
- A regular cotton handkerchief of 18inch x 18inch is used in this tutorial. 18inch = 45cm
- 2 hair ties
This mask is not meant to replace surgical face masks, but when you must go out, something to cover yourself is better than nothing, and at the very least, it will remind you to not touch your face.
