I am of the belief that masks will be a part of our lives from now on. It just seems like a great idea for keeping our coughs and sneezes to ourselves and keeping others healthy. With that said I decided I was going to make masks that my friends and family would choose to wear like they wear their favorite team’s T-shirts and baseball hats. I found this wonderful fabric on the Etsy store SBCountryCreations. Check out her shop and others to support small business!
The main aim of a fabric mask is to prevent YOUR bodily fluids from being expelled or you being splashed on by someone else’s bodily fluids. It is my (non-medical) understanding that air still flows through the masks. The best fabric for surgical face masks is cotton that can be easily washed and NON woven fabric
Don’t want to make your own but buy a readymade mask? So why should you buy a handmade mask? Because obviously you can’t sew one or you would be making your own, so put a few dollars into someone else’s pocket and keep a handmade business alive.
