100% Cotton Face Masks - Cool and Comfortable!

More info: etsy.com/shop/kactussewing

100% Cotton Face Mask with Adjustable strap that comfortably goes around head and neck. The nose-wire is a soft rubber garden wire that works very well! If you have allergies to rubber or latex do not use this wire. The wire is removable and easily slips into a cozy pocket. The wire pocket is the perfect size for a pipe-cleaner as well. All of our masks are hand made by my partner and I at our home in Salt Lake City, UT. Fabric is pre-washed / pre-shrunk. Masks made to order - some designs are in short supply. Inventory will be updated regularly.

Why purchase our masks?
1. We have a nose wire! - our masks come with a soft and strong nose wire to fit the contour of your face. If your mask needs a replacement wire you can easily slip a new wire or pipe cleaner into the pocket on top. We use a soft rubber garden wire. If you have allergies to rubber or latex please do not use this nose-wire and consider a craft pipe-cleaner instead.

2. We have a filter pocket! - want some extra protection? No problem. Just slip in your own filter. Some say a coffee filter works well along with a cut-out HEPA filter. There are a lot of filter options for sale on Amazon as well.

3. Our adjustable strap is very comfortable - Some people find elastic ear loops bothersome and uncomfortable after prolonged use. We use a cotton/spandex strap that has a wooden bead to adjust to your head size. To properly don on, simply wear the mask around your neck upside down, pull the mask to your face, and bring strap around the back of your head above your ears. For those who would rather have ear loops, you can easily cut the strap in half and thread them through the loop holes, then tie off both ends to the adjusted length.

4. Cool Patterns and colors - I am buying up an eccentric assortment of colors and patterns to make new masks. I would love to hear your suggestions. Some designs are in short supply and inventory will be updated regularly!

5. Comfortable and sleek fit - This mask is made from the Olson Mask Pattern, which is a popular and well-fitting mask for adults. One size fits most.

6. Made in the U.S.A - You'll be supporting my small local side-business. My partner and I love making masks in our free time.

Instructions for Washing
Take care of your mask and it will take care of you. Before you wash your mask, remove the nose wire. Wash mask with like-colors with clothes in a machine, or in a sink with a small bit of detergent. Be careful not to stretch the strap too thin. DO NOT DRY IN DRYER. Instead, lay your mask flat on a surface to dry, or hang dry. Once dried, iron the mask on a low-medium heat (with steam if you have it). Do not iron the nose-wire.
