  • Hey, guys! Today we are making DIY face masks. One option uses cotton pillowcase fabric as well as coffee filters. These are NOT a substitute for N-95 facemask, they only offer some protection. But some is better than none.

    Woah, you folded that pillowcase so fast I didn’t catch how to do it, even after rewatching it a bunch. Clearly I’m a little slow at DIY crafty stuff.

      asmith 2245 Hee hee, you
      Sound Just like me!! 😜😂. I was like, Woah!!😮 What did she just do?? Hey lady, you need to explain the WHOLE folding process for us who aren't used to making our own Lifesaving Facemasks or whatever!😂😂😝 ROFL I pretty much just stay at home anyhow. We live in the country on A "retired" Cattle farm so we have plenty of room to be outside and won't go crazy from the self quarantine! My poor son works for USPS and I'm trying to remain calm and not FREAK out all over the place about him being exposed all over the place! He's extremely healthy and obsessive about being clean. (Aspbergers). So that helps😂, but I'm a Mom so I'm gonna worry, it's my job!😜

    Glad to see from comments that people are willing to wear masks. I live in South Korea and here, people look at you weird if you're not wearing a mask walking down the street..(Although everyone's face is covered with masks, I can feel their glaring eyes!)...I get the "You're not considerate of others" vibe. Please protect yourself and show that you care for others by this simple gesture of wearing a mask. You can do this, America!

  • @sigallipkin7889
    @sigallipkin7889 4 роки тому +67

    I hope you don't find this weird, but I added an extra layer of protection by inserting a panty liner between the layers of fabric, so it's not directly touching my face. You just have to remember to remove it before laundering. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

      I used a ziplock bag. I cut it down the sides and cut the ziplock off.I placed inside before I folded it. It would be reusable after sanitizing. For the people out there who found that the hair ties would not stay on the back their ears take a shoelace and tie it on each hair tie and just tie it to the back of your head above your ears.

    🛑 THESE ARE *NOT* A SUBSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL MASKS. 🛑 They are *LAST RESORT* options because of shortages. Another barrier if you MUST leave home to help protect others. Your mask helps protect me. Mine helps protect you. 1️⃣Wash your hands for 20 seconds before putting on and before taking off any mask. Throw the mask away and then wash your hands again. 2️⃣Having a mask shouldn’t give you false confidence- *STAY HOME*. Practice social distancing/quarantine. Only wear for a short time on necessary trips. 3️⃣When you cut down your pillow cases experiment at home with thickness. You should be able to breathe comfortably through it.

      Totally. You are basically protecting others if you have the asymptomatic version of this as well as some protection from droplets for yourself wash masks with bleach. Follow the recommendations for how much bleach more is not better in this case and wastes your supply of bleach and erodes the fabric sooner and no one wants that.

      @@es5696 Me, too. I order ahead from Walmart as deliveries are delayed and come in partial orders. Today I got trash bags and shampoo, part of a much larger order. For pets, Walmart is good, too, or Chewy.com. Chewy is also bogged down with deliveries. That's why it pays to order much earlier than you need if you can. Other places also ship, so check around. Fresh stuff will not be delivered this way, but you can get dried fruit, which has the enzymes. Check other sites by googling "online groceries" and specific search terms.

    It's important to remember how to take off/put on a mask. When you take it off, DON'T touch the actual mask part. Touch only the straps. Then, you should wash it and wash your hands as soon as possible. If you touch the mask part, any particles in the mask might transfer to your hands, so please be careful when handling masks.

      I read the opposite -- 100% cotton is better. I have no idea which is true.

    • @lauren-fi8sc
      @lauren-fi8sc 4 роки тому

      @ryan booke it depends on the density of the cotton, and it's much better than nothing. There's a lot of people that don't have the option for delivery services to bring them food.

      @DoItOnaDime  4 роки тому +15

      Madison Selck not at all!! 3-4 folds is perfect. If you take a look at the study I linked it explains why cotton is your best bet. I truly hope that helps!

    • @madisonselck5275

      I wasn't questioning cotton at all. ❤️The masks just look a bit puffy and thick. But definitely better than nothing and I am glad to hear they are easy to breath in! I'll have to make some. Glad I didn't declutter all the old sheets and pillow cases yet. 😉 Thanks for your videos! They are always my favs. ❤️❤️❤️

    • @DoItOnaDime
      @DoItOnaDime  4 роки тому +5

      Madison Selck Of course. 💕 Ability to breathe is necessary haha. And extra deep breathing isn’t good in a mask either because that means more risk. So finding the right amount of layers comfort/saftey is also key. Hope you are having a great weekend.

    Great idea... I’ve seen ppl making them with bandanas but I threw those out in the 80’s. For the first mask. You can add a hepa filter in it for even more protection.

    Our top heath doctor says -
    You need to wash your hands before and after taking the mask on and off. Also they should only be warn for a very short period of time because once the fabric gets moist your actually increase your risk.

      Yes, but we're all in the same boat. We will get through this, don't ask me when. But one day it will be over (just like 09/11), and perhaps we can bronze our masks and gloves as mementos, just a thought.

    • @janebyrne6463
      @janebyrne6463 4 роки тому

      @47 E.B.O That's what I'm hoping for too. That no one I care about will get sick or worse. And I'm well aware that thousands have died, and thousands more before we've either beaten back the virus or they come up with a vaccine (whichever comes first). But, if not for widespread social distancing, the death toll would be in the millions by now. We need to keep calm and carry on and take care of ourselves and our loved ones.

    The shaping at the nose is very important as in your coffee filter mask. I’ve seen people use pipe cleaners instead of paper clips. The pipe cleaner was sewn between the layers of fabric.

    The cotton one did nothing to help protect you from particles. There needs to be something to shape your nose so that particles cannot get into the mask. Out of the two options the coffee filter gives you better protection

    • @grecia7945
      @grecia7945 4 роки тому +7

      Wearing the mask is more to protect others. It prevents infected droplets (if you unknowingly had the virus) from when you breath/speak or sneeze/cough from falling onto surfaces and infecting others. The droplets are too heavy to be airborne so they aren’t necessarily going to be flying into your mask. I think both these masks are very useful. Better safe than sorry.
