How to Make Muslin Face Masks at Home? 4 Easy Steps
You can easily make a medical cloth face mask at home using muslin or any other fabric that can filtrate properly. Using the experience of making face masks for me and my family during lockdown, here’s a quick method to make pleated face masks.
Things you need:
- Two 8×8 inches muslin fabric sheets
- Quilting pin
- Iron
- Elastic threads or bands
- Glue gun
Step 1: Place the sheets and sew
Place the 8” x 8” sheets’ fronts facing each other. Then, sew following the borderlines. But keep at least 1” area from the width without stitch.
Note: If you plan to make muslin face masks for kids, you can cut two 6×6 or 7×7 pieces of fabric.
Step 2: Flip the mask body and iron press
Then, bring out the main exterior of the mask using the unstitch area. Iron press both sides gently to ensure a plain shape.
Step 3: Give folds to the body
Now, from 3 inches of the bottom, fold 1.5” width and press to bend over the mask body.
Make 2-3 more folds one over another using the same technique. This will give a pleated structure (like curtails or skirts). After giving the required amount of folds, hard press the iron to make the folds permanent.
Step 4: Stitch again and attach the elastic threads
Then, sew the width again. The mask would now seem expandable to match the face shape.
Finally, take a fabric glue gun and attach the elastic threads at each side firmly. Or, you can just sew the thread heads multiple times to lock them to make ear loops.
The mask is now ready. Wash it once before use.
