Since the outbreak of Covid-19 items like hand sanitizer, antibacterial wipes and facemasks have completely disappeared off the shelves.
And while we have come up with solutions to making our own hand sanitizer, home sewers and craft bloggers have now turned their attention to making face masks.
Using household items including hair ties, rubber bands and bakers string instead of elastic string and recycled material, fabric or dish towels, crafters are following some simple steps to making the masks.
One blogger, who runs the site Craft Passion, has posted a pattern to follow that shows exactly how to cut out the shape of the mask and a step-by-step guide to sewing it together.
