The CDC recently recommended that we should all be wearing face masks when we leave the house, even if we’re social distancing at least six feet. The problem, though, is that like toilet paper, it’s next to impossible to find face masks. Many people are making their own. But not everyone knows how to sew or owns a sewing machine. Even if you have a sewing machine, you may not have the necessary fabric and notions. It's not like you can run out to your local fabric store right now.
So I did a little Google Sleuthing and came across a video that shows how you can make no-sew face masks from either a pillowcase or coffee filters. And you can do so in about five minutes!
Talk about a craft that’s not only super simple but one that will help keep you healthy! You can find the Youtube video by clicking here.
Stay safe and healthy!

Thank you! I'll check this out. Very handy!
Helpful link. It's quite something to see doctors and nurses sporting home-made masks.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting Alicia and Susan! We're certainly living in strange times. Stay safe and well!
Great idea! I'm going to send that link to my sister who's a health support worker - and hasn't yet been provided with any PPE.

Glad to be able to help, Kris. I'm floored that someone like you sister hasn't been provided with any PPE. That's so wrong!
Thanks so much for this! The no sew one may help more people. -- Brenda W.
You're very welcome, Brenda!
