Do not have enough masks? Feel tired of queuing to buying masks? Here's a tutorial of hand sewing your own masks. By inserting an air filter into the fabric mask, it could protect you from virus similar to surgical mask.

***Remember to wash your fabric mask and change the air filter everyday. If you don't know where to buy air filters, you may consider using dried anti-bacterial wet wipes which are also good substitutes of air filters.***
