A: I recommend they be different colors or patterns so the wearer can tell which is outside and which is inside. We don't want them to accidentally put the side they'd be wearing on the outside against their face. Q: I don’t have cute cotton fabric. Can I use a T-shirt? A: Yes, so long as it's a stretch T-shirt! See my list of Best Fabrics for Face Masks at https://jennifermaker.com/best-fabric.... Your goal is to find and use closely knit and STRETCHY cotton. You can tell how close it is by holding it up to bright light -- if not too much light is visible between the threads, it's probably good. Q: I need to make a gaiter mask for my child. Do you have a pattern that small? A: We have gaiter face mask patterns for youth small, medium, and large, but please note that the CDC advises that children under the age of 2 should not wear a face covering. Q: I don’t have 20-22 g wire. Can I use a more flexible wire or pipe cleaners? A: Yes. Q Do I have to cut these gaiter face masks on my Cricut? A Nope! If you’re only cutting out one face mask, you’ll probably like using a Cricut (if you have one). If you are making more than one face mask, you’ll find it faster to print out the printable PDF pattern from cardstock and cut out multiple layers of fabric using a rotary blade cutter. Q How do I wash my gaiter face mask? A The CDC advises routinely washing your mask in a washing machine. The frequency of washing depends on your frequency of use. We wash our gaiter face masks daily after we've worn them. Q Do you have a no-sew pattern? A Yes, we have a no-sew face mask pattern at https://jennifermaker.com/no-sew-face... ============ Follow me at: Blog: https://jennifermaker.com Facebook Page:   / jennifermakercrafts   Facebook Group:   / cricutcraftersandmakers   Instagram:   / jennifer.maker   Pinterest:   / jenuinemom   Please subscribe to my channel at    / jennifermaker   for more video tutorials to craft a live you love!
