For those who have purchased a fabric mask, Thank You!
To fit cone-style masks once purchased and washed:
–Place mask over face
–Pull top loop over head
–Pull strings to tighten while keeping ties over ears
–Tie loose bottom strings behind neck and tie.
Here is a video with photos to demonstrate how to wear your mask, if you purchased the cone-style version.
Other Tips:
Some masks may feel more comfortable sitting right above the ears, while others may feel better resting higher up on the head. Experiment with what feels best for you and your mask.
Here is another video with some tips for fitting your fabric mask in a way that works best for you.
Here are the instructions, if you’ve misplaced them:
Details:
The cone-shaped handmade masks come in four sizes, so please check your bag for size. (For health precautions, masks cannot be tried on before purchasing.)
—Toddler
—Child
—Petite adult
—Adult
Each mask has three layers of fabric:
—cotton fabric on the front
—flannel fabric inside
—cotton fabric on the back
This is for added protection, but also creates a thicker feel.
Each mask has a string, shoelace, or thin jersey fabric which loops once around the head and ties in the back so it can be adjusted to the wearer. Please see photos for a close-up, or visit (HERE) for photos and explanation. The ties are removable if you’d like to replace with your own ribbon, string, or elastic.
All masks have been pre-washed, but I highly recommend you wash before wearing at this highly-sensitive time.
DISCLAIMER:
These masks are NOT surgical masks and are NOT intended to protect against viruses. Please use caution, social distancing, and other measures to stay healthy at this time. Information is constantly changing, so please research for the most up-to-date precautions.
Please wash regularly, especially after wearing out in public.
*I am not a professional seamstress and there may be slight flaws in masks. If there is excessive bunching on stitches, I have discounted the masks.
*For health and safety, masks may not be tried on or returned. If the mask is not a good fit for you, perhaps you could take proper washing/disinfecting precautions and share with someone who might have a better fit.
