If you are heading out to the grocery store or any public area, face masks are essential gear.
But we’ve got you (and your face) covered.
Here’s a quick tutorial on how to make an easy, no-sew face covering out of a sock.
1.First, gather your materials.
you’re free to also use a longer sock and cut off the top.
2.Lay down the sock horizontally on a flat surface.
Using your scissors, cut the sock in half between the toe and the heel.
Remove the half with the toe and discard.
3.Turn the sock vertically so the cut end is at the top, and the heel to your left.
Make another cut on the right side from the ankle opening to the cut end of the sock.
4.Fold the sock in half.
5.At about 1/2 inch from the edge, cut a 1/2- to 1-inch slit starting from the fold.
Do not cut all the way through the sock.
6.Open up the fabric.
8.To put on the mask, stretch the loops over your ears.
9.Wash your hands before you put on the mask and after you remove it.
10.Launder your mask frequently, ideally after every use.
