Project Information
Here's a very simple project, as timely as today's headlines…
It's a quick and easy to make device to hold a face mask on without having to thread it around one's ears.
There are plastic ones of these made and sold (that are rather fragile and certainly NOT very "stylish"), and I've seen others made from a strip of cloth or leather with buttons sewn on… Of course, for me, wood was the only option…
The making was about ten minutes of effort, out of a Mahogany scrap that was kicking around…
You can see, how unattractive the plastic alternative is (and how flimsy!)
The advantages to these are that: #1) those of us with sensitive skin don't get irritation behind our ears from mask wearing, #2) they make it easy and more comfortable to not only wear these silly masks, but to put them on and take them off, and #3) You can lower the mask at any time, to eat or drink (or speak!), without having to remove it entirely…
Anyway, keep safe and healthy my Friends!
