Before you read on, can you guess what we are covering today? Pun intended!
if you are as old as I am, the right left might look a little familiar.

My cousin Bonnie posted a video on FB about making our own mask, Without Sewing? YAY!
By the time I was through, I had spent 2 hours on making masks to wear when I go out. If you don't know why I need a mask, you are in Big Trouble.
First I made a red mask out of a bandana, loved it because it covered The Chins.. But a little embarrassing for wearing in public.
I grabbed a white hankie and Voila! loved it. I can now make one in 30 seconds. Any square will do, a friend said she was going to try large napkins.
THEY say Wear mask in public....

You did good! I loved watching this, because I am going to try, and need all the help I can get!
You go girl! But, why the embarrassment? Consider it a colorful necessity. With your new know-how you can make a fashion statement. ...you did a great job with them.
Considering what I've seen some people wearing, your red bandanna should be the least bit emarrassed. There was a cutomer who came in the other day. He had a black mask on and a cowboy hat. I couldn't help giggle to myself because I thought he was a bandit from the wild west.
I have thought about wearing Rigers respirator mask just to get a reaction...the one he had to wear in doing some of the work when he made knives...some of the grinding or sanding. Picture something from outer space. I like the red bandana ones just fine.
Hi Sandra,
I made some masks for hubby and I, I think he will go to Walmart by himself today and wear the mask. No need to be embarrassed, everyone is wearing the mask now. I hope your day is great!
I like the bandana and took one when we went in the car yesterday to walk. (didn't need to wear it, only saw one person at a distance). I've sewed one for hubby and will make myself one today, just in case. I like your idea to make one without sewing! Everyone needs to have one at the ready!!! Hugs!
Well done MS...Oh I learned to iron on hankies. You know I love the red
I have made 4 masks out of scraps of fabric from my quilts.
Hugs Cecilia
I've been sewing masks for a couple weeks now for my essential worker daughter and the local Visiting Nurse Assoc. But I like the no sew ones best for the rest of us. Like you said convenient and easy maintenance.
A filter can be placed between the folds also if that makes a person more comfortable.
I thought about wearing my motorcycle/tornado helmet -- then realized its face shield only covers the TOP half of my face. I agree, the red bandana rocks! I'm off to Walgreens 20% Senior Day in a little bit for hair ties (or rubber bands) and will be wearing my black (zombie) scarf. I didn't tell you, last week when I wore it to Wal-Mart one of the church ladies walked right past without recognizing me!
I have always liked the look of a red bandana so that is my favorite also. My daughter-in-law dropped off a couple of masks her mother made for us. Those non sew masks would be great, especially for someone who doesn’t have a sewing machine. I could hand sew one I guess but was happy when this type popped up. My fingers are not as nimble as they used to be.

Excellent - and yes, they remind me of 'rags'... YAM xx
Go with the colorful mask! We need colorful, eye-catching virus-fighting apparel in this era of regimented activity.
I also say go for a colored mask!! I'm going to try my hand at crocheting a couple of masks with crazy colors and put linings in them.
I'll let you know how that goes :-)
Thanks for this. I made some yesterday, but didn't have the best material. Why I got rid of all the bandannas Errol left I now have no idea. But you reminded me that I have white napkins somewhere. Will check.
After I made mine I actually found a box of mask in the garage that I had packed up for the move. I buy them for when I am sawing on wood. The made ones are thicker and I think would keep things from getting through.
I like the red too. What I don't have is the elastic bands. I did find some old masks in the closet for some reason I bought them years ago - still good though.
Very interesting .Around here very few people are wearing masks.
I like the red one and think you should wear it. It's cheerful, and we can all use a lot more of that.
Love the zapping in microwave idea. I also saw someplace (I think it was on the CDC website), for an added barrier use a coffee filter (fold in half) in the center of the bandana before folding for the mask. Enjoy your day!
Very nice!
