Run the laminating pouch through your laminator and then let it cool
Now this isn't crystal clear and I don't know whether better quality pouches would give a better result but this is fine if you had to go somewhere in an emergency and wanted to shield your face. The piece of wadding is necessary to hold the plastic away from your face. A rolled up face cloth or piece of old towel would work just as well. I used ribbon for my ties but elastic would be better.. If you give it a try don't forget to round off the bottom corners so they don't dig in your shoulders.
My vet came out into the car park this morning to pick up the cat from my car. He was wearing one of those. A good idea.
ReplyDeleteReally easy to make too. I don't know why there was such a shortage of them.
DeleteI love that idea. I have COPD and wearing a face mask makes it really difficult for me to breathe. This would be perfect for me. Thanks for the idea and showing how well it fits.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome. Crafters love to share and if it will help someone then that is wonderful. x
DeleteThat's genius and so much more comfortable than a mask. I can see you will be getting requests for those.
ReplyDeleteYou may have a nice little industry there. lol

My son asked me why I had made it. I said 'just to see if it would work'. He replied, 'Good, I was worried that you were turning into a hypochondriac'.. grrrrrrr
DeleteWhat a great idea and well executed. I think you could make anything, Cherie! This is a good alternative for a mask for those who find the mask hard to adapt to.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny. It's really very comfortable and so simple to make.
DeleteWell done - I have thought all along that the face shields are much better than masks, and you can wipe them clean with an antiseptic wipe easily when you return home. You could use velcro to hold it together at the back.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone who could not make one, they can be bought cheaply for £4.19 from Pharmacy2u.
Cool idea!!!! Well done for thinking outside the square. I also like Rosemary's thinking that you can wipe it clean too. Thanks. Take care & hugs.
ReplyDeleteClever you!
