(3,741 posts)So I am not a tech person so I don't really know how to post original stuff. So, here I will try to describe "Put a sock on it" ... something everyone can make in 30 seconds. OK ... not approved by CDC but I don't give one Fu*k what trump is lying about today.
Here ir goes:
1. take a clean cotton sock ... men's size
2. hold it up to your face with the heel on your chin ... this will be how the mask will sit on your face
3. cut a 1" slit in both ends of the sock, keeping the sock flat with the heel at the bottom. These slits will be the place where your ears will fit in the mask.
4. you can now wear the mask, if not tight enough use pipe cleaners, paper clips around the bridge of your nose
5. put coffee filters inside the sock if you will be in a viral load environment ... PEACE
