DIY *NO SEW* FACE MASKS! (free and easy!)
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.

I used two coffee filters in between two pieces of cotton material
I like that idea.. I use my daughters bib..came out pretty cool..
How does that feel? I’m paranoid of not getting enough oxygen inside the mast to replace the CO2 lol.
Omg that’s a good idea
I just brought 2 pillowcase s a few days ago I was going to sew them, but this is waay easier. Thank you so much for this.
This is our LUCKY day!!! A Do it on a Dime video on the weekend!!!! WHAT!! 🙌🏼🤗 thank you so much for this😊 I was just looking around the house to see what I can use to make a MASK for my family 💕💕 stay safe everyone!
You are a FN Bad Azz! This will save someone’s life and you gave it away for free❤️ #this #everything
My dad has to go get groceries today so I will definitely be making this for him. Thank you☺️
I work with the elderly population and it is so important for this population to protect himself definitely go out and make a mask for your dad..
Forever After Crafter don’t know where you live, but I live in Tucson Az & have been ordering groceries from Walmart & they deliver them to my door. Take care, be safe, be well
You are the only blogger I can watch right now!!!!
The most real authentic person!😘
I read where the cotton /poly blends actually filter higher percentage. Like some sheets, pillowcases and napkins
That’s what I read too. Look for what’s called “quilters cotton.” With a thread count of 180.
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.
@CouzCat I’ve also seen DT craft wire used for the nose piece. Seems that this might be sturdier.
Pipe cleaner is what I used. I doubled it to make it stronger
You get a thumbs up every single day from me, video or no video. Just for doing everything you do. You are always appreciated ❤
This video is such a godsend! I’ve been so scared to leave my apartment because I’m super high risk but I need to eventually go out and get groceries. Thank you so much! Be safe everyone! ❤️
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. 😊 I live in Central Florida so we definitely have instacart & shipt which more than likely I’ll end up using since I don’t have my own transportation. I’m on limited income so I really didn’t want to deal with extra fees through delivery services, but during these scary times I’ll just have to deal with it until we can get back to somewhat normal times. ❤️👍
If you’re high risk don’t forget to cover your eyes too. Viruses can enter through your eyes as well
@Lonely Butterfly do u have IG? or email…
@Lonely Butterfly I feel for you! I also live in central Florida and I’m immunocompromised, or else I would drop off groceries for you. Have you looked into reaching out locally to try to see if there is anyway to make something like that work? Like maybe you could pay a grocery store directly over the phone and someone who isn’t immunocompromised could pick up what you would need when they also picked up their groceries (so that there would not have to be an extra trip or added exposure to anyone else). I don’t know if this would work, I’m just trying to think and I know I would do this if I wasn’t immunocompromised…so I’m sure there are others out there who would – I guess the had part is connecting with those poeple. I hope that you are able to get assistance with this!
@Lonely Butterfly God bless you and keep you safe!
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.

I second here.. exactly what I stress in my DIY video..
That’s the real deal !
I’m watching from the outskirts of Paris, France. There’s not a mask to be had anywhere! For the moment either you have to be a health care professional to get one, or, if you are chronically ill your doctor has to write you a prescription for you to obtain one at the pharmacy. BELIEVE ME, I’M NOT COMPLAINING! On the contrary I salute our French National Health professionals and all the people who are working at essential jobs, BUT, the problem remains intact: no masks! Th you for this no sew, easy method. We’re in the 3rd week of strict lockdown here so no going out to buy material and everything is closed anyway. Th God we all have pillow cases! My heart and prayers go out to you all in your country too as I see on televison what you too are undergoing. God bless and keep us all.
Isabelle Laval Hi 👋🏻 Isabelle.
6 years ago today I landed in Paris to celebrate a good friend’s birthday 🎂 ( it’s today) She was teaching college students in Germany who were there doing their internship.
It was a beautiful spring day and of course we went to the Eiffel Tower first thing. Then to go get yummy macarons .
Visit many churches and just had a wonderful time.
My birthday 🎂 is on April 12 which is Easter 🐣 this year.
Rather than be sad I’m in quarantine this years. I will get out my pictures and be happy I was able to spend my birthday 6 yrs ago at Mass in Notre Dam church.
Wishing you safety ❤️
Susan from Indiana 😘
God bless to you as well. Love from la Louisiane
Stay safe Isabella lots of love from Atlanta Georgia
You can contact me if you need mask assistance
The CDC just said they recommend people to wear fabric face masks while out in public so the pillow case is a great idea! I’ll me making my own because I still have to go to work!
FOR A ONE TIME USE
Binge On This Was just about to say this
@Binge On This you can wash them. Take it off and immediately wash it upon entering the house. Wash your hands after touching it
Wow how has this even come to this?! As a nurse this terrifies me for my fellow healthcare workers. Stay safe everyone! 💛
Our facilities where I’m at don’t even allow those of us who do have masks to wear them because there aren’t enough to go around and it’s “unfair”. People panic bought too much and now Sally going to the store one a week has boxes of surgical masks, but CNAs and nurses are going without. It infuriates me.
At least options like this don’t take away from healthcare workers.
Madeline it’s honestly just a crazy time we’re living through. True though about these not taking away from healthcare workers!
How sad is it that health care professionals don’t have enough protection. God bless us all.
I am a health care provider myself and it is not a joke out here.. please take care
@Divinelyu Fitness & Health thank you. God bless you and your family.
Gummy Bear It is very careless and reckless that’s why we all have to do our part to help them out as a healthcare worker myself believe me it is not fun out there there really people dying I had one of my patient died two days ago from This virus, take care of yourself guys do your part.
@Divinelyu Fitness & Health Thank you for continuing to care for the sick.
Divinelyu Fitness & Health thank you for everything you do, i’m trying to donate as much as i can :,)
It’s a “coughy” filter 😂
Love it!
That’s a good one.
👍👍👍😷 Nothing like a good pun to go withy my morning caughy
taci kaylor 🤣🤣🤣🙌🏼
Mrs. McNamara Mask you how your morning coughy was? 😂😜
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.
🛑 As stated in the video, THESE ARE *NOT* A SUBSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL MASKS. These are last *LAST RESORT* options because of shortages and are another barrier if you MUST leave home to help protect others. 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.
Do It On A Dime Wash hands before putting on mask, and AFTER taking off the mask (and putting it in washer or plastic bag).
Thank Kathryn! Use the World Health Organizations Proper Hand Washing Technique: https://youtu.be/2R9A7YYH0yM I made this video using paint to demonstrate! Stay safe everyone!
There is something so weirdly dystopian about this. I can’t believe we’re living in a time where we have to make our own face masks
we make a medical bandage, watch my video Russia
Right?
Very odd
All the manufacturing was outsourced overseas.
It’s actually like Matthew 24:7
