With the déconfinement, we can finally go out as we want!
The problem is that it is still mandatory to wear a mask...
And this, in public transport, in supermarkets, at work, etc.
Why wear a mask? Because it allows you to protect yourself and others.
Fortunately, here are 5 quick and easy tutorials to make your no-sew protective mask ! Watch:
- a bandana
- 2 large rubber bands
- 1 paper towel
1. Lay the bandana flat on the table.
2. Fold it in half, then in half again.
3. Position the two rubber bands so that the bandana is divided into three equal parts.
4. Fold the right side of the bandana towards the middle.
5. Open it and place the left side in.
6. Pull each rubber band on each side.
7. Add a sheet of Sopalin inside the mask (change each time you use it).
8. Place the mask on your face by hooking the rubber bands behind your ears.

- a piece of cloth
- 1 pair of scissors

- 2 rubber bands
- 1 iron
- 1 small metal rod
- 1 plate
1. Turn the plate upside down and lay it on the fabric.
2. Trace the shape of the plate with a marker on the fabric.
3. Cut along the line to get a circle.
4. Fold your round in half to get a semicircle.
5. Fold your half circle in half again.
6. With the scissors, cut each fold to obtain four triangles with a rounded base.
7. Take two triangles and overlap them.
8. Thread the yarn onto a needle and sew the rounded edges together. At the end, cut the thread.
9. Do the same with the other pair of triangles. You get two small "hats".
10. Flip one over to have the fabric designs facing you.
11. Take the other pair and layer it over the first to double your mask.
12. Adjust them well and sew the edges together. Attention, do not sew all the way to the end yet:leave 1/2 cm unsewn.
13. Turn your mask inside out, like a sock, pulling the fabric through the unsewn space.
14. Smooth it out so your mask has a nice shape.
15. Adjust the tips and iron them over.
16. Fold the ends inside the mask to make a small crease.
17. Sew this fold, leaving a space to pass the elastic. Do the same on the other side.
18. Cut the elastic in half and pass it through the fold using a small metal rod. Do the same on the other side.
19. Tie a knot at the end of the rubber bands and slide it inside the fold.
