You can never be too cautious when it comes to staying safe from the coronavirus. You can also never have too many cute face masks. You can use any fabric scraps you have lying around.

To jazz it up even more, you can paint on them, do embroidery or even make them two sided. These face masks will be completely washable and reusable. And you can send some matching ones for your friends as well!
