This mask is made by sewing two pieces of cloth together for protection with a light feel. A coffee bag seal or a pipe cleaner can be sewn into the top of the mask in order to mold the top of the mask to the nose. When it is sewn between the fabrics, the harsh plastic or wire from the material will not cause friction on the bridge of the nose. You can cut multiple ear holes to adjust if you don’t get it right the first time. This is similar to the mask I received at work, which is just a piece of cloth with ear holes for a more secure fit. I wanted to make something that had a bit more coverage, since the cloth we were given is thin. I had a lot of trouble with constantly adjusting my mask beforehand when it had strings, so I liked the idea of a secure mask with ear holes better. Especially in an environment where I’m making drinks and always moving around, it’s important for me to make sure I’m not touching my face or constantly adjusting my mask. I wanted to make a mask that would stay put and offer adequate protection.
