Pandemic Masks
I have noticed many people making masks and feel these extra things will make them more comfortable

| finished mask held in place using button band. Button bands make them more comfortable. |
 |
| Button Band these were made with double fold quilt binding but ribbon or the handles of the shopping bag |
 |
| I used dental floss to sew on the buttons and to sew on the elastic bands |
I am using non woven reusable shopping bags as interfacing for these masks because I didn't have any interfacing on hand.
I am taking spiral binder metal cutting it bending the ends in so it isn't sharp then creating a casing for it like I would for boning
I am sewing the casing to the inside out mask in the nose position
Then I turn the mask right side out.
I then sew along the edges to make the mask more crisp
I choose to ass double fold quilt binding this can also work as a pocket if you want to string you masks. I didnt do this on the Starry Night Fabric mask.
Because I was having problems finding elastic I had bought hair bands and cut them to use
You can use regular hair ties either way when you cut them tie a knot at the end
Here is one black mask men's size with nose metal and elastics
