original model, but we use a slightly
different model at Make Santa Fe (pdf)

The same model, but an efficient way to make several at a time

| Taking a hint from the method above, first cut your cloth in long
8 3/4" strips, and sew the 1/4" seam on one side in one long go. Then use this simple jig to cut this into 7 1/2" pieces. The jig is a steel ruler with cardboard attched to mark off 7 1/2". Fast!

| For the nose pieces, many sites use pipe cleaners or twist ties. I found that these are too weak. I had some 14"-wide Aluminum flashing. Cut off 3" sections, and each of these makes about 40 strips. I use regular heavy-duty scissors.

| These models use bias tape to tie around your head. If instead you cut
1-inch strips from an old T-shirt, these curl up into a round shape by themselves (no sewing), and the are somewhat elastic - more comfortable.
For the metal strips, I cut 7×80 mm (3/8×3") strips from Aluminum
flashing. Pull-off can tops (cat food) is the same material.

| I have used the mask with the side sleeves with loops that go over
your ears for a while. It is not very comfortable on the ears, and tends
to slide down. Here is a different way to wear it, much better! String and a
rubber band. Put the bottom string over your head, and then pull the top loop
with the rubber band on. The total length of the loop is 31".
