Top 5 Best Face Mask Designs & Tutorials

Flashback 6 to 9 months ago, when I searched ‘diy face mask’ in Youtube, it came out with tutorials about making mud mask for the face – you know those stuff you mix and apply on the face to make you face glow and shine like a diamond? Yup.

But now, ever since this pandemic has changed the course of our life at the start of the year, ‘diy face mask’ in Youtube or Google, will now show you tutorials and diys on how to make homemade mask to cover nose and mouth to prevent the spread of the airborne virus. This pandemic also opened an opportunity for more Youtube tutorials and DIY blog posts hits to skyrocket and those who are lucky enough to have posted even before the virus started killing people, their posts have even more page views.

So since there are so many tutorials and information with regards to how to make your own face masks already available on the Web, I decided to just gather some of my favorites and share them with you.

These selections are not based on how many views they had, or how difficult or easy the project is. Neither are these selections based on acceptability on the medical field.

This curation is merely based on the final product design and features that captured my interest. The details on the mask are what matters to me, so I tried my best to share those that are a little bit more on the fashionable side yet still practical. This is in no particular order.

1. Joann.com

Joann.com has this design that is very much cute and I think pretty easy to make. Here is the link the free pattern.

2. Tendersmile Handmade – 3D Face Mask

This was one of the very first 3D Mask pattern that came out in Youtube earlier this year and I like how the tutorial was presented as well as the finished product design. I see this a lot around in my area being worn by Asian people and love how it fits the face really well.

3. Sew Much Moore in Store

I am fond of the N95 masks and this being one of the very first tutorials that popped up in the Youtube earlier this year, I just had to try it. The design looks clean and elegant. And the tutorial itself is pretty easy to understand. Plus points for different size free pattern! Get the pattern here!

4. Unity Point Health – Olson Face Mask

This is a fairly new tutorial on Youtube, but the design and details of this one are pretty slick! I like she provided a slot for removable wire nose-fitter and this one requires no bias-tape at all. Considering that the ‘Olson Mask’ is a pretty new term for me, this one hit me right off the bat!

5. Innova Crafts

This is one of the newer ones that came out in Youtube and probably the easiest surgical mask type face mask tutorial I’ve seen with this style. The thing that caught my attention is the color palette that they used for the visual presentation of the tutorial. I know, it sounds lame. But fashionistas, get me?

Searching the web now for a face mask tutorial can be a little overwhelming. So what do you think of this list? Comment your favorite design below so I can check them out as well!
