Since it’s basically impossible to find an actual face mask anywhere, I decided to do some research on making one this morning. So here it is! Exciting, eh? I cut up a shirt I no longer wear to the specs in the article and added a coffee filtre inside of the shirt material. I used a stapler to secure the mask to the rubber bands, bingo! It isn’t pretty but it will work.
Yeah, I’m not too pretty, no wisecracks OK! 😅
This is great job dear John, stay ,n free… in here they don’t let people outside without mask!!!! In everywhere you have to wear mask… you seem sympathetic… 🙂 Thanks and Love, nia
I am sympathetic to those who suffer with the virus, and those who suffer otherwise, Nia. Thank you, stay safe my friend. 🙏🏻❤️
Welcome dear John, you too! Love, nia
Great Job!
Thanks! I don’t feel comfy going out without one now…
Great work, John. Stay safe
Thanks Leyla, you too. ❤️
Good for you, John, resourceful and productive.
Thank you Jet!! 😬
Hey it works! 😊 😷👍 you match everyone else
Thanks! I saw a dude with a bandana the other day…
I saw a few bandanas today myself 😊
Clever! I love it. Nice job! Glad you’re staying healthy! ❤️
Thanks! Trying hard…
We were fortunate to have a box of dry wall sanding masks on hand Rick uses when he burns brush (or we need to do fine sanding). I don’t know if you can still get those anywhere, but they fit tightly and can be reused (they will have to be, we didn’t have many).
Lucky you!!
Very nicely done! A good way to re-use an old shirt too. You’ll be one of many out there in a homemade mask. 😷
I’ll be glad to wear it for sure!
“Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!” You would make a great bandit.
Nice play on words, Timothy! I look a bit odd but oh well, better than you know what…
I don’t think you look any odder dan de odder guy.
Tanks a lots! 😬
Have you seen the 1948 Humphry Bogart movie The Treasure of the Sierra Madre? That’s where the quote comes from. I think Mel Brook might have used it or something similar in Blazing Saddles, also.
Not sure I’ve seen that but have watched lots of old western cowboy movies with my dad. He loves them!
It’s a great movie. I like Blazing Saddles, also.
I did the same thing! Regions of the world where masks are culturally accepted fared better than in the West where masks were, initially, not even recommended. Masks, in combination with social distancing, might have staved off the more restrictive lockdown which forced us to stay inside.
It’s not too difficult to make is it. Masks are not so acceptable here compared to Asian countries it seems.
