Crafty friday!

Swine flu face mask cover.

First of all, Im not trying to make fun of the whole swine flue thing.

But I did see several people here in NYC today with those white face masks.

And it start me thinking........what about making a cover for those masks?

So here it is, my swine flu face mask cover.

What you do is take one of those paper masks.

Cut the same mask only a bit bigger in fabric.

Sew down the sides and sew on a strip of fabric on each corner long enough to go around your ears.

I cut some flowers and glued them to the mask with fabric glue.

Voila, you have a fab looking face mask.

Happy weekend all!

You could make a fortune selling those!

I need these!!! I have been coughing all day and everyone is "Swine flu" I could pass them out and say why yes! But in all seriousness, i really like your styled mask and it seems simple to make (if one knew how to sew)
the flowers add a sweet touch.

Your blog is full of inspiration and ideas that make life more beautiful. Thank you for sharing them:)

you are fabulous, sweet paul. these masks are the greatest!

one little thing, though... shouldn't you applique those flowers on? fabric glue is some nasty stuff-wouldn't want to start a fabric glue-related epidemic.

ok, going to sew now.

Germaphobe-tastic! Chicago area schools were hit hard by this in the Spring, so I would suggest matching gloves.
