Unfortunately, pharmacies are not rubber, so the reserves of masks may run out very soon.
Today we will tell you how not to fall into panic and make a mask at home.
You will need:
- gauze (you can bandage);
- needle with thread;
- scissors;
- cotton wool (if desired)
Step-by-step instruction:
- Wrap a piece of gauze so that 3 layers are formed. Tuck the top and bottom edges neatly and mark.
- Cut the cheesecloth around the edges to make 2 pairs of ties. If you use a bandage, then you will need a piece of 7m x 14 cm.
- Make a cotton pad 14 x 14 cm. Cut a 60 cm bandage and wrap 4 layers of cotton wool in it.
- Use the remaining bandage for the ties.
- You need to take 80 cm of fabric, cut it in half lengthwise and fold each piece with a tube.
- Then thread the ties at the bottom and top of the dressing and sew them together.
- It is important to remember that the gauze mask is disposable.
