Woman shares nifty trick of how to make a no-sew face mask out of a sock

This could be a handy hack for those lonely socks while you find govt approved masks to use.

With the ongoing global pandemic, and the recent announcements in New Zealand, it is very smart to have a few different masks handy - and wear them.

If you are looking for something that isn't a disposable, one-use surgical mask, there are a multitude of sewing patterns online for free that you can make yourself.

But, if you aren't so handy on a sewing machine and need a mask in the interim until you can purchase approved fabric masks or more surgical grade masks, then this handy trick shared on Facebook and Tik Tok could be a great idea for you.

And it is a great way to use up any lonely socks floating around your house!

You will need a clean sock and a good pair of scissors.

The tutorial is in Dutch, but it is very easy to follow along.

Please be aware that this No-Sew Mask hasn't been approved by our government and may not be the best mask to use if you are sick or showing Covid symptoms.

But it could be a great mask to use if you are without of the approved face masks.
