How to make a gauze mask for a mask you need bandage and tape. These materials are in every home. Great if the bandage is wide, about 14 centimeters. If there is no bandage, then use gauze, from which you will need to prepare the necessary parts. In our case, the bandage and all the actions we do with it.



  1. The first thing you need to do is take the measurement. Boldly put a bandage on your head. In our case, it's 28 centimeters. Since we're going to make four layers, we also multiply that number by four.



  2. The next step is to measure the tape. It will perform the function of “ears”, so you need to apply it further. We got the number 45 that needs to be multiplied by two. All measurements are removed, you can start manufacturing.



  3. Carefully fold the gauze bandage into four layers, smooth so that there are no folds. Now apply the tape. Its width should be 2-3 centimeters so that during manufacture it can be folded in half. Use the sewing machine.







  4. If there is no machine, you can quickly cope with the usual needle and thread. Do not worry about the fact that such a seam will look unaesthetic. When you put it together, put it together so that you can make the straps.



  5. Last fitting and you can go outside. It's okay, if the house does not have suitable tape, you can use a bandage. Of course, this mask will look less neat, but primary - protection, not an elegant cut.
