Here’s A List Of Ways to Make A Headband With Buttons To Attach Face Masks To

By: Liz Hall

With the new CDC recommendation that everyone wear a face mask when going out, people are searching for ways to make a mask at home. Many people are also now suggesting that, if you’re wearing a mask for an extended period of time, you wear a mask that uses a headband with buttons. This better protects the ears of healthcare personnel, while still allowing the mask to cover their face and nose.

Here are some of the top tips and videos for creating a DIY headband and button to be used with an elastic face mask. Each tutorial details what materials you can use to help out our healthcare personnel. This first idea is simple enough and just uses ribbons and buttons which you might have stashed among your craft supplies.
