How to make a filter:

A filter is needed to increase the protective barrier. To make a filter, I use a bandage and cosmetic cotton sponges. You can also use paper towels, or even several layers of thick cotton.
Unfold the bandage, put it inside the mask. put cosmetic sponges tightly. Fold bandage in half, cut it off. The filter is ready. You can fix it with a needle and thread or hot glue.

The filter must be changed every time after use. The mask must be washed separately from other clothes and ironed for several minutes.

How to decorate a face mask:

Cats always cheer me up, so I decided to make cat decor here.
I used:

• acrylic yarn 100 g / 180 m,
• crochet hook 4 mm ,
• sewing needle, a needle for embroidery.

How to crochet cat’s nose:

Make Magic Ring.

Ch 3, 3 trc in ring, 3 dc in ring, Ch 1, 1 trc in ring, Ch 1, 3 dc in ring, 3 trc in ring, Ch 3, slip stitch in ring. Fasten off. Tighten the ring.

Try on the mask and determine where your nose is. Sew a cat’s nose to this place. Using an embroidery needle, make a mouth and whiskers. Done! Meow!
