Many federal states, cities and municipalities are currently discussing the obligation to wear masks, such as when shopping or using public transportation. Despite the current remission, this aims to further slow down the spread of coronavirus. According to expert assessments, masks can only protect healthy people from viral infections to a certain extent, but because the air breathed through the mask is significantly less exhausted, they can reduce the radius of infection.

In most stores and online stores, breathing masks have been sold out for weeks, or provided by suspicious providers at high prices. What should I do? The easiest is to protect yourself temporarily. There are many different instructions on the Internet that can be used to make mouth and nose protection. We will introduce it to you in more detail below.

Mouthpiece made of coffee filter



You can quickly and easily create face masks from coffee filter bags without special sewing or other skills. If you do n’t have a filter bag at home, you can buy it in any supermarket for very little money. In addition, you need to use clips or punches and rubber bands to fix it to the head or neck. Proceed as follows:

• 1. Hit a rubber band or rope on the two clips.
• 2. Now connect it to the coffee filter.
• 3. If there is no clip, use a punch to make two holes in the reinforced side seam of the filter, and then directly tie the carbon tape to the filter.

Alternatively, you can make this mask with a handkerchief or kitchen paper. The steps are the same.

There are various instructions on the Internet, you can use them to make a mouthguard within a few minutes. We have linked three very simple instructions for sewing masks below.
