Mexican Skull Mask

I wanted to share this with you all!

Got the pattern from Instructables and you can downloaded HERE!

Mask  is fitted, with 2 layers of fabric and a pocket between them for an optional filter (see research links for info on filters). It is held on by elastic ear loops. Elastic can also be threaded to fit around the head.

Materials 

  • 9" x 15" fabric outer layer

  • 9" x 15" fabric lining layer
    3” piece of soft wire (this can be decorative wire as shown, or picture wire, or even a paper clip if that's all you can find)
    approx.

  • 22” of elastic cord (child size length 10", regular size length 11-12", large size length 13”)

WHAT KIND OF FABRIC?
You can choose any tightly woven cotton or cotton/poly fabric you like. Hold it up to the light to see how tight the weave is. Use the same fabric for outer and lining if you want, or use different ones to help you remember which side is clean and which dirty.

100% cotton having some effectiveness. Cotton/polyester blends may have additional properties of repelling water, making them better barriers to keep droplets from soaking through outer layers.

Don't use stretchy, sequined or velvet material.

I used vacuum cleaner filters and also cut out strips from my anti- dust filter and use them as my inserts when I go out.
