What you’ll need
Equipment / Tools
A Laser Cutter – any model or brand as long as it is big enough for material that is 29cm x 40cm (that’s around 12 x 16 inches) – or – a good pair of scissors or sharp crafting knife
A good pair of Scissors
Materials – You can get these on Amazon, although it’s a struggle to get the plastic sheets at the moment
Sheet of Flexible Clear Plastic – I have used .8mm thick Translucent Polyproplene – or – you can use anything that bends and is fairly rigid – as long as it is safe to cut.
Flat Elastic Ribbon 25mm (just under 1 inch) wide waistband sewing elastic – or – any elastic, string, I’ve even used rags, as long as it fits through the slots or can be stapled to the shield
Thick High Density Foam Draught Excluder 20 x 25mm (just under 1 inch square) with adhesive backing – or – upholstery foam cut into strips with strong double sided tape to fix. I have also tried small polystyrene blocks and they work quite well too.
The clear plastic is cut into 295 x 400mm – the two ‘headband buckles’ are about 40 x 40mm
The Flat Elastic Ribbon is cut into 40/45cm lengths to allow for plenty of adjustment
The Foam Draught Excluder is cut into 15cm lengths
To Make
Cut your plastic out – use the FACE MASK DESIGN pdf template I have attached or go from the measurements I have provided above.
Attach the sticky backed foam centrally between the holes cut for the headband, push it down firmly to secure in place.
Thread the elastic ribbon through the slots and buckle as shown.
Adjust the straps for a comfortable fit – Hope this helps, take care and stay safe.
