  1. Well, fashion houses are rapidly keying into the pandemic and helping themselves. Honestly, it is not up to the required safety standard but its better than nothing. The n-95 still remains the best face mask but do not discourage anyone who chooses to use these other ones.

    Make you own Bandana-and-Coffee-Filter Mask by following these simple steps:
    This mask uses a coffee filter in the middle of layered bandana cloth to provide some protection

    What You’ll Need:

    • Bandana/Handkerchief
    • cone coffee filter
    • Two rubber bands or hair ties

    How to Assemble It:

    1. Fold the bandana square in half.
    2. Cut the coffee filter horizontally across the middle.
    3. Place the wide section of the filter in the middle of the folded bandana.
    4. Fold the bottom of the bandana up to the middle, covering the filter, and fold the top down over it again.
    5. Loop a rubber band or hair tie around each end (left and right), leaving a few inches of fabric, so each side looks like a candy wrapper.
    6. Fold the sides over the band so they meet in the middle and tuck them together.
    7. Put a band over each ear, making sure the material fits snugly to your face. The pressure on your face should keep the material and rubber bands in place.
