Quick and Easy Pleated Face Mask with Nose Bridge and Filter Pocket. Details in Description

- čas přidán 2. 04. 2020
- I’ve been making these mask to donate to frontline Healthcare providers and First Responder. These masks do not protect them from covid19 but they’re better than none or having to wear the same soiled mask all week due to the mask shortage.
A filter is highly recommended. If filters are not available, then I would use something breathable like a coffee filter or you can even fold your kitchen napkins and place inside the pocket. Pockets are intended to be hidden and worn against the face. Below are measurements to two different sizes. Medium size are for the average size person and Large are for those big sexy men in uniform. They add great coverage over their surgical mask or n95.
My orders from the frontline staffs and first responders were getting heavy and I needed more manpower. Luckily, I had volunteers to help sew but I couldn’t find a video that showed how I wanted it. It was difficult to explain over the phone. Time is valuable to me right now and I wanted to save some unnecessary steps and speed up the process if we’re gonna have to “mask” produce these. After making so many mask all day everyday, I figured it out and got it down to a science. Don’t forget to watch my latest video on how to make the paper templates. You can also download the printable templates.
This video was intended to show my volunteers but I hope it helps everyone else. For kids, I would do 6.5”x 14” with 5 or 6” elastics (adjust accordingly to your child) Use the medium pleat pattern for this mask but with two pleats instead of three.
Thank you for watching. I hope you all stay safe and healthy.
You will need the following:
8x15” Medium or 9x16” Large 100% Cotton Fabric or (Medium 21cm x 38cm) (Large 23cm x 41cm)
Two 7” Elastics (18cm)
Twist ties or pipe cleaners (approx. 4 in) (10cm)
Scissors
Pen
Ruler
Clips
Paper template
Piece of velcro (keeps the needle always ready to go and reduce the need for overusing the thread)

Watching you sew is so soothing. Thank you so much for the tutorial! And the little piece of fabric catching the thread ends - that is a gamechanger! Especially for something as fiddly as this project.
This is by far the easiest pleated mask I have tried from the internet. Thank you for this video and the template for pleating - fabulous!

Stacey Paulson I tried to copy the template from the video however could not figure out the length and width. Can you help?
@@marlenemontoya9226 There is now a printable template available.
What are the Dimensions of original rectangle? Thanks!
This is the most helpful, and to the point video for making masks I’ve seen. I love the valuable and positive contributions from others also ❤️ thanks!
I’ve been making the shaped mask, cutting out takes at least half an hour. Then sewing and finishing off took ages. I decided yesterday to change to this style as I was constantly dreading doing them so kept putting them off. This looks so quick and easy, and very simple. Thank you so much, the Velcro idea is genius.
wow, I have been sewing for 65 years now and never thought of using the piece of velcro or something to catch the ending of the threads.....I spend way too much time trimming and taking the machine apart trying to get the top thread that is sucked back into the machine making bird's nest of threads.........wow, thanks a million
Carol Burnett glad I can help. The velcro piece is a game changer
Same here. I thought it was a piece of felt which i guess you could also use. The best thing for me is that the thread doesn’t pull up and out of the needle which does happen every once in a while. This locks it in place and really saves thread. Great idea Kim
Thank you for explaining that. I had no clue what that was for! What a great idea!
I agree, I loved the mask making shortcuts but the use of the VELCRO, WOW that's worth a video all by itself! Thanks for that amazing tip!
@@KimsKitchenAffair Wow Kim!! I salute you for your brilliance! Undoubtedly the best diy mask tut on line esp bonus points for the great tip about the velcro which i have had in my home for years and have not used. I bet you would come up with a dozen uses for velcro. I have a question - wont the needle be damaged if it pierces the velcro? What is the purpose or the velcro? i am a novice sewer (yikes 'sewer'?!!!") and not exactly sure if it is to hold the thread in place .. some have said it prevents thread wastage .. i can understand that . I see you still use a scissors to snip off .. so is it to prevent that long tail of thread that happens after we cut the thread against the side thread snipper on the machine? Subscribing because I think you're brilliant and willing to share your secrets. Thank you so much
This is the best mask tutorial. Even got a room for filters to be added. I’m new to sewing. I’ll make a few simple bags first and then graduate to mask next.
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! I have already made 14 masks and it could not have been easier! And I have not sewed in many years! This mask has it all. The wire and the pocket are great features and do not take much extra time for the benefits they provide. Thank you so much for your generous sharing!!
This video not only taught me how to make a mask quickly, it also taught me how to be a better seamstress! Thank you!
Not only is this fantastic and bound to make me feel less frustrated while sewing masks... That little piece of fabric that you sew into and out of is such a damn good idea! No more having the thread jump up out of the needle and having to rethread the machine for the 40th time. Thank you!
I came to the comments to see if someone explains why she kept doing that. Sounds like a great idea. Something I've never thought of.
Tammy Hanley The velcro keeps the needle always ready to go and reduce the need for overusing the thread.
Jus Di Harrington it’s a total game changer.. you must try it
I came to the comments to see what that piece of Velcro was for, too. ❤️
Exactly !!! CLEVER 1000x Thank you !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cool idea and great instructions!
You are definitely contributing to the greater good.
Thankyou.
Yes! Finally, one that has ALL the elements I was looking for - wire for bridge of nose, elastic loops, and pocket for filter. Thank you for posting!!
Brilliant!! I have been sewing over 55 years, that velcro bit is genius. Have been slaving over masks for days and days, finished over 100, but this is an answered prayer. You deserve an award.
Kendra Rice you are too kind! 🤗 bless your heart. You just made my day. Take care and stay healthy.
@@KimsKitchenAffair Finished 8 masks this morning using your great method, certainly not as fast as you yet but it's such a good method. You made my day too. God bless.
@@KimsKitchenAffair I really like the blue color fabric, is it just cotton? Where can I find it? Can you please reply?!
I haven’t been using Velcro, but just a folded piece of one of the blue paper towels (shop towels), about 1 1/2” tall and A couple of inches long. I just keep turning it over and over as I use it, and it keeps you from getting your needle unthreaded, and from having to leave long tails and wasting of your thread!😁🧵
Your paper pattern for making the pleats is freakin' GENIUS!!! Thank you!
This is the best design I’ve seen out of all of the many out there! Thanks you so much for putting this together! Love that the filter opening doubles to help differentiate front from back as well. It’s important.
Friendly reminder to everyone that this is great for helping you keep all your respiratory droplets to yourself and prevent the unwitting spread of viruses to others but don’t forget to wash your hands and then keep them off your face after that as much as you can! Make two per person if you can and launder them regularly. It means so much to me as a nurse that everyone is being so resourceful with this sort of thing right now. Keep taking care of each other. ❤️
Absolutely fantastic pattern for pleated facemasks that work really well! I've made over 30 for family and friends, using polycotton sheeting which washes and dries very quickly, with a disposable non-woven filter (cleaning cloth). The folding template is magic! And I can't thank you enough for the Velcro idea, it saves soooooo much time and frustration not losing the thread. Thank you so much and keep safe!
I’ve already watched so many videos and sewed a lot of masks I’ve learned from CZcams, and this one by far is my favorite. So much easier than the masks I’ve been sewing. Thanks a bunch for making these AND for putting the details in your description!!!!
I just bought a sewing machine and was getting incredibly frustrated trying to make masks and learn how to use it at the same time. The trick with the folded paper and the Velcro is an absolute game changer. Thank you so much!
Easiest to understand by far. I've watched at least 8 version and this one is the best. Thank you !
Busy Body Handmade need order for extra large i'm korean ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I completely agree. One thats about five minutes long is better than a long tutorial. Thank you Kim.
I've been using a piece of scrap material to end the sewing from my quilting years but folding that paper template with the fabric is genius! I've been PINNING the fabric per a template and then moving the pins down to make the folds. Tedious and time-consuming. THANK YOU!
Adding pins to make mask would be defeating the purpose (effectiveness) try wonder clips instead. Enjoyed watching
Cecília flor
Enjoyed watching.
I'm new to sewing..what does using the scrap material do? Just make it faster and easier to move to the next piece? Thank you! :)
@@KM-lz2ch It eliminates the need for a tail of thread so it saves on thread use. So if you are making many masks for free it cuts the costs down. It also makes it faster to move on to the next step so you are partly correct.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Goodness knows how many masks you’ve helped create. With 5 million views, if each of us just created one.... I’ve made over 100 and no doubt it was because I was able to move much faster, especially with the template idea. Thank you!
I loved the mask making shortcuts but the use of the VELCRO, WOW that's worth a video all by itself! Thanks for that amazing tip!
🤗🤗
What’s the purpose of Velcro? Sorry I didn’t get it
I read the notes further down. I get it. I’m new to sewing. My machine came with cutting the thread with a push button so I don’t have to cut it with scissors.
I'm sorry, do you know what is the purpose of using the velcro?
@@lindakazsals8858 It saves thread. Just slip the velcro under the needle when you are done with a section. Cut the thread between the velcro and the material, then you don't have to pull the thread way out to cut it. Keep the velcro under the needle until the next piece is ready to sew. Have you ever cut the thread too short and it came out of the needle? This prevents that.
Thank you so much! I struggled on the first try but then I "got the rhythm' and off I went! I've sewn other styles and my husband likes this one the best for coverage and comfort! Thank you again and God bless you!
absolutely the best mask tutorial, I have been searching for one that is easy, opens for filter and has nose wire, this has it all, directions are clear and folding template is a game changer. Thank you soooo much.
Excellent!! I am just getting my feet wet in the sewing department and this video is just what I needed! Thank you so much for sharing your time and expertise!!!
Holy cow that trick with the paper pleat guide is going to save me at least 7 minutes per mask! Thank you so much!
Bekahchu I really meant it when I said this make takes 5 minutes to make. Not just the video itself 🤗
You're amazing!! The filter pocket is ingenious! I've been wearing pleated face masks for work for over a decade and this is honestly the best thing for people whom can't get medical grade ones!!!! I'm gunna get started sewing some! Thank you Love!!!!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much for the pattern and instructions. My 9 1/2 year old has three masks made out of printed fabric. He's out to make a fashion statement. Having easy and quick instructions and templates made it easy to accommodate his coping mechanism. God should keep us all safe and healthy.
Thank you Kim for sharing such easy directions on making these mask!❤️🙏🏻
I have looked at several variations of masks, and yours by far is the easiest and clearest to understand, well done!
Katie Richmond thank you very much! My next video is one with bias tape. I’ll edit later tonight before I go to bed. Gotta make mask now 🤗 Happy sewing!
Kim’s Kitchen Affair where are the dimensions for the fabric? Kinda new to the CZcams thing
@@solaris8089 You will need the following:
8x15” Medium or 9x16” Large 100% Cotton Fabric
7” Elastics
Twist ties or pipe cleaners (approx. 4 in)
Scissors
Pen
Ruler
Piece of Velcro
Clips
Paper template Interesting use of Velcro. I just picked up a cotton t-shirt at Dollarama as my fabric store was closed. Now to find all the elastic banding I have and see if any of it is thin! Stay safe.

@@KimsKitchenAffair A better answer might be, look for " SHOW MORE" .
I like the pleats and the nose wire as that is lacking on several sites.
Thanks for the vid. My hat is off to all the Ladies across our country that sew and are in full War Production mode putting out masks that will help everyone. I must include my Wife, who has been putting many hours sewing different types of masks in her factory AKA her sewing room. Again thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to reply and thank you for helping others .You made this easy to understand how to make the pleats .
Vickey Marcum you’re welcome and I’m glad you find it helpful. Supposedly I went too fast so I’ll go slower next time. 😂
Your mask producing is brilliant, as is the little velcro strip to avoid cutting after each one. Simply amazing, thank you!
So many good ideas! Thank you so much for sharing! God bless you and I wish you safety and health during this time of uncertainty.
WOW!! That folded paper trick for the pleats is SUCH a time saver. I've been measuring each one. What a PAIN (not to mention the velcro tip! Genius!) THANK YOU!!
Kim, I have ben sewing for more than forty years. YOU are brilliant! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for sharing. Great mask and great stuff. I didn't know the trick of Velcro even after many years of sewing. Thank you very much.
Hands down, the BEST most straight forward, easiest to follow video I have seen yet!! Includes all the information needed to make multiple sizes and gets straight to the point!! Thank you so much!! 👏👏. EXCELLENT!!!
Denise Kruithoff because I can’t stand those long videos either 🤗😂 I make it how I like it if I was trying to learn it myself. Short and simple.
This is an awesome tutorial. The Velcro idea is so smart! ❤️
Excellent instructions. I spent over £30 on masks from e.bay 2 weeks ago, what a waste of money. These are easy to follow instructions . Nose wires can be kept from any old NHS masks or use pipe cleaners. Good time to recycle clothes, pillow cases etc as well. Well done Kim, keep up the good work.
Thanks for posting this! I’ve been making masks and this is a great template! I love what you did for the pleats. I’m going to try that. Pleats are my least favorite part but you have a clever tip! Keep up the good work. So proud to be one of many helping during this crisis.
"Awesomeness", I'm a sewing beginner...and rarely like videos without voice. However, your camera put me up front and center!!!!! Thank you !
This is the best tutorial I've seen Love your tips and tricks! Thank you
Great tips on velcro and easy to follow directions. Have been making lots of masks for friends, family and since I work at the airport taking passengers throughout in wheelchairs, I have made some for passengers, ticket agents and now making these for my fellow PSA's. We were told to only wear black masks which they had made for us, but unfortunately, one size doesn't fit all. I think these will be flexible enough that I should be able to provide to all my work buddies that need. P.S. I am almost 70 and have been sewing since I was about 10, but I am thrilled that I can keep learning new things like this. Thank you so much.
Kassandra Berry oh my gosh! Bless your big heart and kind soul for sewing for everyone! How are you getting the materials and paying for it? It can add up when you’re making this many. Let me know if I can help.
Beautiful job and very easy to follow! Thank you for taking the time to share with us. Keep on sewing!
I’ve been making my masks, the strip of fabric for the beginning and end is life altering. Xxxxxxxxxxx
like so many others here, my mind has been blown by your velcro trick .. i’ve been sewing all my life and never knew this! thank you a million for your great pattern and demo .. off to find my velcro stash and get busy making these!
What velcro trick?
I like the paper clip use.
I think that's an old quilter's trick. I call them "spiders" and use an old scrap of fabric. Kim improved it by using velcro to catch the hanging threads. Pretty slick.
Yup. What a hack. That’s what I noticed first. Good way to save time and save on thread as well. I’ll be copying this trick from now on. Thank you.
Just made one following your tutorial. Easy for this beginner sewer and such a great fit. Thank you!
I really liked the Velcro trick & the paper pattern for the pleats saves a LOT of time!! Thanks!
I'm basically making my masks the same way you do, but I didn't think of the trick with the folded paper which makes everything just so much easier! Thanks a lot!
ZOMBIEZAHNpakuto perfect pleats.. every time 🤗
Kim’s Kitchen Affair daw
The way she places the seam for the opening at the top of the mask is genius.
It automatically creates the pocket for the bendable piece. So clever. I have been making masks with that opening centered but then I had to create the separate pocket for the bendable wire. Also love the pleating template.
Well I have been sewing for 40 years and just learned something. Thanks
Someone needs to speak up and tell me what the velcro is for! This was the first time I’
@@margaretharbin6915
Look for a comment from Joni Spalding. It has 16 replies. Kim explains why she uses the Velcro.
Many thanks for putting up the videos and detailed instructions for sewing the masks. Sharing tips like adding the velcro to catch the ending of the thread and folding that paper template with the fabric are brilliant ideas. Thanks for sharing your time and skills. This is the best tutorial, I have seen so far.
Your Velcro trick is EVERYTHING!!! Thank you!
this is the best I have seen of many! Thank you so much for sharing!!
٫
I also agree with these comments... This one is by far, the best, most easy-to-follow instruction for making these masks! I want to add, floral wire and things like that have been extremely difficult to find in my area, so I have been using the plastic coated paper clips for the nose part. Even the small ones, you can cut them in half and make 2 out of that one, just remember to fold in the ends so you don't get poked. Thank you for making this easy video!
Definitely a beginner when it comes to sewing. I know the bare minimum to get a job done and was not sure how good my masks would come out, but your tutorial was amazingly helpful and they came out great!! Thank you so much for putting this out there. God bless !
Thanks a lot: I tried several patterns and watched a lot of videos for producing masks but I think your's really the best. It's easy to sew, you have the opening for the filter and the possibility to put in the pipe cleaner or something else. I just made two modifications: I I left the wire tunnel open and folded the mask in another way. Thanks again from Djibouti. Stay at home!
Excellent use of time and craftsmanship, thank you! As a quilter, we use the "starters" and "enders" before and after much like you use the Velcro piece. I've upped it a bit by sewing scrap pieces of fabric together, put them in a small box to square up and put together a quilt after my mask making days are over. It will solidify this time with a scrap quilt. Again, thank you for posting. This video is a game changer from all the masks I've been making. :) Peace and be safe!
Wow! The velcro idea! The paper fold template! Simply works of genius!!! Thank You!!!!!!!
You are AMAZING!!! I e watched so many videos and HANDS DOWN!!! You Rock!!! I was and am able to make so many more for those in need than I ever would or could have if not for your video! Bless you~❤️
I have made over 400 masks thanks to your tutorial. Because elastic was so hard to come by, I made ties out of the same material . The people I have given the masks to have loved the idea of the cloth ties instead of the elastic because you can adjust to any size /shape face, even children and they don't wear out/ streatch like elastic does.
Vickie Mesimer this makes my day!! I’m so glad to hear that this video was helpful. For the same exact reasons, I’ve also switched over to ties. It’ll be my next video. The best decision ever! 🤗 god bless you and stay safe
Love! Def the easier mask that I have tried. I make all my mask this way. Size for a medium was a little too big so i did measurements that were between a kids/medium mask. so i think i did 7x14" with 7"~ string.
I watched a lot of video, but this one so brilliant. You make it so simple and easy to understand. After watching your video, I m very excited. I can't wait to do it. Thanks for sharing. 😍
Thank you for this tutorial!! So simple yet not cheesy! Wonderful job!
This is CLEVER on soooo many levels !!!♥️
The velcro is a cool way to stop bits of string being everywhere!
Thank you for posting this video. Also the tip with the Velcro, I'm going to see if it helps. 👍😍
I l 8 u
Does any know the measurement s for cutting
I think this is the most efficiently constructed mask I have seen.
Thank you for sharing your face mask technique with us. A great number of new ideas and food for thought. Velcro a thread catcher.......truly brilliant!
Thank you very much for your Mask video. I really satisfied to watch your mask preparing video.
Loved your idea of the pleater. Haven't seen one in years. That is a game changer. Thank you.
I love your mask instructions ! Just what I've been looking for !
Excellent, this fits great, just like my surgical masks. God Bless you for taking care of the public as well as us Nurses.
可愛くて実用的なマスク💕頑張って作ってみます☺️
My dear, first, really good video instructions. Second, I have been sewing for literally 50 years. There's damn little I can't make. I made one wedding dress for a young friend super short on money. Yes, I sewed on my grandmother's pedal machine. It took me half the video to figure out what that little tab you leave the foot resting on was for. Once I got it, I was pretty excited. Thanks for teaching an old dog a new trick. Thanks.
Joni Spalding yes don’t sew without it. Ever lol
@@KimsKitchenAffair I dont sew at all but this is the first video I've seen that does that and it's I interested me. . Could you explain what it is for please. Ive got a machine on order so I can learn. Thank you. Great video
Vikki G It keeps the needle always ready to go and reduce the need for overusing the thread.
@@KimsKitchenAffair ohh I see. What is it you use is it especially for that job or something you've made for it. Thank you for your reply
Vikki lou it’s a piece of velcro
Thank you, great tutorial! Quite easy too. I also love the idea of the velcro thread catcher...brilliant!
Super impressive. I have been sewing for over forty years and definitely learned some awesome time saving tips. Than you so much.
Susan Buck save time so we can make more 🤗
Thank you very much for this labor of love!
Why 1.8B people didn’t like it?? This is the best tutorial ever watched. Thanks a lot, I’ll start to sew now 👍🏻😘
Boncuk Atölyesi you can’t make everyone happy 😊 I think it’s probably cause they don’t know to click in the description. The descriptions will give them free printable templates and instructions to download, tutorial links for paper templates, and all the details they need. 🙈
Kim’s Kitchen Affair First thing I did was to click 😊 Probably you are right because the video was so clear and easy 👏🏻👏🏻
I think it might be the title - it says done in five minutes, but for majority of people it takes plenty of time and nerves, especially for those, who have not much experience - like me :D Actually it took me several hours to make a few masks (of different construction than these) - you usually need to search your home through to find a piece suitable material, understand how it all works, fight with pleads and rubbers, things don´t go always smooth... Those people probably expected something very easy :)
You’re right.. I’ll remove the 5 minute out of the title. Thank you!!
BlanCamCZ done.. ty!
I've used 2 different patterns and each one has taken me a day to make. This mask, the tutorial, the PLEATER help!!! Oh my gosh, thank you. And the velcro thread idea....WOW! Where have you been all my life? Awesome!
Excellent design and video tutorial! I love the crafty use of a piece of Velcro to keep hold of the bits of cotton
Thank you for the templates. Will certainly makes construction faster. I've been using Jill's pattern. Both patterns are simple and straight forward. Helps when making multiples. Thanks to both of you.
Hi Anita where do you get a template from for the mask
@@lesleyrodgers3872 Its in the description drop down of this video
The production on this is fabulous! The velcro for thread is genius. I had some card stock in my supplies so I printed the templates on that. Thanks so much!
Laura Leland thank you! When you get a chance, watch my latest video showing you to sandwich two templates with the fabric in between. It’ll give you better control and easier to work with
Yes, I saw that. Never b4 have I seen that. What it for? Not an everyday sewer anymore but dying to get back to it.

Awesome thank you so much, I can't wait to get right on this. I appreciate all the tips (especially the velcro to save on thread).God Bless you and your dream team of mask-a-teers!
Excellent video and supplemental materials. I have watched several and made several masks now. I’m trying yours next with the card stock trick fro pleating. Thanks so much for posting!
I've also looked at many yet this is # 1.amen!
This is the absolute fastest mask making video I’ve seen! You have your technique down to a science. Such great ideas in here. Especially the Velcro strip! Also love the quick pleats template and the all one piece of fabric and still makes a pocket in just one row of sewing! This is fabulous information.
rubyxcube3 thank you
Thank you for sharing your ideas and pattern of a face mask! I'm making some for my family, friends and neighbors. You've helped make them so easy!
Thank you so much for sharing your pattern and tutorials! Very helpful.
Great video. I love all your ideas and tricks at saving thread. I have made some mask for my job using another pattern but i will try your next and make more. Us nurses are always in need when a crisis hits hard. Much prayers, love and thanks for what you like to do.

You made this look so easy! And it’s the best mask with filter and nose wire I’ve seen so far. My last attempt was a total failure and I hated the pattern. I might actually try it again using this pattern and see how it goes. Thank you!
Love this mask! You did a fantatic job! I like how you made the filter pocket! Thank you so much sharing!
Kim, you are amazing!!! You make it quicker than that other lady! Thank you.
Really really appreciate you doing this. I was trying to read a similar pattern, but there were no pictures and I couldn't quite figure it out in my head. This helps a lot. Thank you for all that you're doing!
Outstanding job. The velcro idea is too good.
Very nice mask sewing demonstration - the paper template for folds made this my favorite!
Thank you so much for posting this instructional video! And totally off topic: You have beautiful hands and nails!
ssoozee thank you!! But my nails are growing out and so ugly right now 🙈😭 I need to get them filled but don’t wanna leave the house lol. It’s not essential 😂🙈
Kim’s Kitchen Affair, I agree with everyone that had positive remarks. You are amazing! My nails are now off & my hands look horrible...one day soon, I hope to have pretty nails. Thanks again, great tutorial🙌👏👏👏
GAME. CHANGER. The little scrap for the thread starts/stops?!?! Holy crap, mind blown!! Thanks for the new life hack (and great tutorial - smart with the nosebridge/filter pocket combo)!
Glad I can help 🤗
I love this idea as well, less mess with thread clippings
Thank you for this great tip! Many greetings from Germany and stay safe and healthy. ❤️😷🍄
I call then Leader/Enders. Just a folded bit of fabric scrap that you start on and end on. No more long threads which are wasteful and the machine likes to chew up. Plus, the thread doesn't jump out of the needle.
My mom is a quilter and she usually stitches 1.5" squares together (cut from her scraps) as leaders/enders while she sews her other projects. She ends up with an entire scrap quilt top every few months! It would probably slow you down if you're trying to mass produce masks like these, but useful in the future!
Best instructions on how to make a face mask! Template on how to fold, excellent! Thank you!!
Brilliant!!! Thank you for sharing this ❤️ video. I am so grateful 🙏❣️!
