Easy Mask Hand-Sew DIY Cloth Face Mask Tutorial

There are so many DIY cloth face mask tutorials out there! If you don’t have a sewing machine, are a young sewer, or just too lazy to get the machine out, here is an easy mask tutorial with just a little hand sewing. A 5-minute face mask!

You can find a video tutorial for this easy cloth mask at the end of the post.

For an Easy Cloth Face Mask you’ll need:

• 100% Cotton Fabric Scrap or bandana (12″X 22″ or similar size)
• 2 Hair elastics or shoe lace
• Needle and Thread

Start with a piece of fabric about this size. 22in wide is ideal for an adult, the height can be more or less. Use a square bandana if desired.

Flip to wrong side up.

Fold top and bottom inward (mine is about 2 inches, close is good!)

Then fold in to center.

It should look quite skinny, like this! It will expand nicely while using so don’t worry!

Put the hair elastics on.

Fold ends over so they touch in the center.

Here’s a picture of the ends folded over with the alternate shoe lace option (or any other tie, get creative!) if you don’t have hair ties.

Hand sew the two ends together. Do this anyway you like! Be careful not to sew the front to the back, you just want the two ends together.
