This is the best video that I have found.  I’ve tried the elastic straps and find that they are too person specific.  Ties allow for any size to wear.  I made my own folded over strips made like bias tape by using 2″ strips the width of the fabric.  I like to put the ties on the sides, after basting the raw edge pleats in and sewing the top and bottom seams and inserting the wire.  I’m using a coated wire and bending in the ends too.  The wire is very helpful in keeping the mask in place.

I need to make 100 to send to our daughter who is an RN in Grand Junction, Colorado and in charge of 24 home health nurses that don’t have enough masks.  They are rationing them now to suspected cases.  I’m sure that there are needs here, but if anyone wants to help make this kind of masks and donate them to Shelley, give me a text or call.  912-755-9407

Also, Mary Bass is checking on the need here.
