How to DIY a mask at home?

Surgeon General, Dr. Jerome Adams, shares ways to create your own face covering in a few easy steps.

The DIY pattern in this video will teach you to make a standard pleated face mask with elastic ear loops. This pattern has 2 layers of fabric, and an internal pocket in which you can add additional layers of disposable filtration material if desired.

This mask is not meant to replace surgical face masks, but when you must go out, something to cover yourself is better than nothing, and at the very least, it will remind you to not touch your face.
