Nothing fancy here for me today but very practical! Since we are in the midst of a kitchen renovation I figured we should have a mask to protect us from all the dust to come! I went to the hardware store to buy some & they were literally paper thin & while the clerk was showing me how they work she poked a hole in one? The cost for 10 of them $12.99? Rediculous so I came home & made these 2 up & hubby said he will wear it so YEH for me! Teddy to the rescue lol. The brown one is a bit small for teddy but fits just right. I even added pleats for the nose (both sides & under the chin too on the red one hubby said no to it on his & it is a snug fit

Pic 1) Hey who turned out the lights?
Maybe I'll be a bank robber today!
Pic 2) Whew that's better, the lights are back on!

Ms Loralye if you can make these without a pattern you can do anything! I never thought of doing this.

Well thank you ever so much (as my gramma used to say) ~hugs~

I found a free pattern called Germ face mask on - mama can do it.com. Haven't had the time to make it yet but will in a few days. Hope this will help anyone that wants to try it.

I never thought of making them myself but it is an excellent idea.I find the elastic often breaks as you put the on.

Hey that's a good idea but there is sanding going on today so I have covered my baby up good & tight.

Very pretty and practical. Why pay a lot for inferior stuff! Rather make your own. You can just wash it when needed, and there you go again. I'm sure you look cute in these!

This will cover from the top of our nose down under our chins & I have put the pleats (darts) to fit each of us. A tight fit will keep out the dust or @least the worst of it & it is lined so breathable & dust free I hope.

Good idea!
