How To Make A DIY Face Mask At Home

"This face mask tutorial is made due to a shortage of face masks at present. The face masks are temporary ones which are made with raw materials now available in the market and by modeling the design and the principle of 3M masks. The cost is low, and it is easy to learn and make. However, the face masks are certainly not as effective as N95 (KN95) masks. They are suitable for people who have no way to buy a face mask. The face masks are homemade and are not sterilized. They don’t meet uniform standard and are far from medical standard. Therefore, it’s not recommended for frontline medical personnel to use them. Please choose rationally."
