FACE MASK diy | MINIMAL SEWING | It's A Cinch

Making a face mask just got even easier! This CINCHING method makes the process so much easier and quicker. There is minimal sewing involved, and no pleating!

Requires no elastic. Can be made with upcycled t shirts, or knit fabrics.

This mask has FOUR layers of protection and has a pocket for a filter if you want to add one. Nose wire, full coverage, and has very comfortable ties for a comfortable fit.

These masks are NOT MEDICAL MASKS, are NOT N95, and are NOT FDA approved.
There are no claims stating this will prevent the spread of COVID-19.
