Es una actividad que puedes hacer en casa mientras pasas la cuarentena, lo puedes realizar en una máquina de coser o con costura a mano.

Podrás realizarlo con tela que tengas en casa, decorarlo a tu gusto y personalizarlo, asi tendrás una pieza muy general hecha por ti.

En este post te daré el paso a paso de este tapabocas. Manos a la obra.

We will start by making the pattern for the mask, take the sheet of paper, the marker and the ruler. Make a rectangle 16 cm wide by 17 cm high.

Once the rectangle is made, add 3 cms, in the longest part, that is after the 17 cms, add the other 3cms.

Then on the back of the pattern, the 16 cms. measurement, 3cms. will be taken, in each end inwards. Leaving a space of 10 cms.

Make a line from the bottom to the end where you have previously marked the 17 cm high.

To finish the pattern, we are going to measure the center in the space we added of 3cms, then we draw a curved line from the end of the rectangle to the other end, passing through the center already marked.

I would like to comment that here you have two options to make the mouthpiece, if you want it long to cover your ears or you want it short with the garter passing behind your ears, in particular I prefer this way. To do this you only have to measure approximately 7 cm, from the shortest side of the pattern up, as seen in the image. The pattern is cut out

At this point we place the pattern on the fabric and cut, should be left 4 pieces, which will join to sew.

We proceed to pass a straight seam in the center and then at the edges.

Now we measure the garter, approximately between 18 and 21 cms, depending on the size of the face and how long you want it. Then we sew it on the inner side of the mouthpiece.

There you have a mouthpiece, homemade and to your liking. I hope you liked this post and that you put it into practice
