by Ziba Esmaeilian

With this print template and a few simple folds, you too can make a unique face mask.  Check out Zimarty DIY video in this post for how to assemble a no-sew Paper  Face Mask! Zimarty paper Mask  Template helps to create a very unique architectural shape to the mask.  download and print on 8.5" x11"  and follow the video posted here to assemble your mask. When you are using staple just be sure the smooth side of the staple is on your face. Rubber bands, string, or any kind of material can be used to make the mask larger. Paper doesn’t stretch, so you’ll want to make sure the ear length fits your face.  Paper masks capture fewer particles than surgical masks and N95 masks. However, if it is the only material you have, it is better than nothing! You can whip up a paper towel face mask in a matter of seconds! you could also attach a paper towel inside the mask for extra protection.  

I’m sure you can make it work for you when you need it. Be sure to like our youtube video for when you need it?
