Diy No-Sew Face Mask With A Bandana And Hair Ties Or Rubberbands

Hi everyone and today's video I'm going to show you how to make a DIY no-sew facemask using a bandana and either ponytail holders or just regular rubber bands. So this is super easy just a matter of knowing how to make the folds and put the rubber bands on so let's go ahead and get started. The first thing that I like to do is take my bandana and fold it in half just to be able to make myself a crease line that I can use to measure my other ones. It just helps me make sure at the very beginning that I am actually making my first folds correctly. So I don't know if you can see if my crease line is right here in the middle and I'll start by taking the bottom and I'll fold it up to that crease line and then just give it a nice crease. And then my next fold starts at the top and I bring it down to that center crease line and I give it a nice crease, okay. So the next thing that we're going to do is we're going to take this bandana and we're gon na flip it over while keeping these folds in place. So I like to grab the bandana where these, where these pieces are coming together, when I flip it over. Just helps to keep everything in the right place and now that I have it flipped. I have two more folds to make I'm gon na start at the bottom and I'm going to fold it up to the center you're, just kind of eyeballing that and then I start from the top, and I fold it down to the center and kind of make Those creases alright, the next thing that I need to do is put my ponytail holders or, if you're, using rubber bands onto my bandana, and so I'm going to do that on each end. I'M just going to put one on each and I try once I get my ponytail holder on, I try to actually kind of place this flat again for right now, so it's in the same kind of the same spot. It was in before I added that ponytail holder and as you look at the placement of your ponytail holders, it's just important to realize that the fabric, that's in between the two rubber bands or ponytail holders - that's your ass, but at going to actually be your face, Mask so, if you feel like you need more of a face mask you, can you know, pull it out, pull your own hands out a little bit, so I've kind of flattened these out to be how they were before the rubber bands were on, and now I'm Going to do one more flip, I'm going to flip it backwards or upside down. I mean one more time and now I want to fold in these pieces. So I'm going to fold this into the middle right along the line where my rubber bands were because these are actually the sides of my mask. They'Ll come up and wrap around my ears and then I need to fold this one in where the rubber band was. As well and then I like to do a little tuck in so I'll, just kind of scrunch, one side nicely and flaps together and then try to find my way into this other side, just kind of making sure it's wrapped around there. Just because this is what's going to be up against my mouth, and so I like it to be pretty flat right and then pull that, and this is what will be on that other ear. So this then I just flipped it over. This is the front of the face mask and you can make it bigger. You know it needs to cover your nose and your mouth. So, by pulling down by messing with the folds, you can make sure you're making it as tall as you need to to get the right kind of coverage, and then these just come around and they attach to your ears now for some people you might find it's A little tight when you pull those around to your ears, so you can do an extender by taking an extra set of ponytail folders, and so you just take the ponytail folder and you put it. You know right through your loop that exists today and you pull that loop in and now you have an extender where this can be. What goes around your ear? So if you put it on and you're finding that it's pretty uncomfortable or too tight, that's a solution for you there. So you can make this extender on your face mask the thing I love about. These is, then, if you do have to go out when you come home and you're laundering, your clothes, you can just take your rubber bands off, throw the handkerchief or the bandana into the laundry along with your other clothes, and then that way you can keep it Laundered anytime, you go out and always have a fresh, fresh bandana or face mask. So I hope you found the video helpful today and good luck. If you're having a hard time finding bandanas, you can get them at Walmart there, I'm guessing they may be sold out. You can find them at Dollar Tree, along with the bananas and the rubber bands I'll link up to some on Amazon. If that's your only choice and there's lots of options on Amazon as well, so I'll link those below for you all right. Good luck! Everyone thanks!
