Batik Face Masks by Cecilia

 

I made some batik face masks, three-lay­ers cot­ton, lined with flan­nel, with pock­ets for fil­ter.

Peo­ple have asked if they can buy these and I’m mak­ing them avail­able as a fund rais­er for PALH (Philip­pine Amer­i­can Lit­er­ary House).

I have six right now (June 12). one size small (the blue sol­id with batik trim); the rest are size medi­um — $30 each and US ship­ping is $10.  I will pick up US ship­ping for orders of three.  Email me at cbrainard@aol.com and I can send you a pay­pal invoice.

I wash these in warm water and while they can tol­er­ate the dry­er, it is bet­ter to hang dry them.  I also run an iron over them to make the pleats more crisp although they look all right if unironed.

For fil­ters, I use cof­fee fil­ter with non­wo­ven gauze sand­wiched in between.

You can also change the loops so they tie in back of your head.  You will have to use your own cord or rib­bon.  In some cas­es, you use one long cord so the bot­tom cord is con­tin­u­ous.
