We know that times are tough, and many people are looking for ways to construct their own face masks for personal safety or donations. Luckily, there are tons of great tutorials online that can help even the most novice of sewers put together a protective face mask, most of which use scrap materials you may already have at home. Here are some of our favorites, including the ones we used to make the masks pictured above:

Please remember to check CDC and HCP guidelines for masks! If you intend to donate face masks to people or organizations in need, be sure to find out exactly what their looking for and what works best for them. We hope you're staying safe and stay healthy!
