I hope you all are Staying Home & Staying Safe.

Today I want to help you all stay safe by making masks.  All right maybe not masks to ear but Paper Masks to send.

I just used a few items to make the mask.  I love making them and they make really quick when you get the hang of it.

Product List

Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [100730]	Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper [149592]	Tear & Tape Adhesive [138995]	Mini Glue Dots [103683]
Whisper White Solid Baker's Twine [124262]	Paper Trimmer [152392]	Simply Scored [122334]

Instructions Mask:

1. Take the 2 ¾ x 2 1/8 Designer Series Paper ( You can use what ever paper you like). Using the Simply Scored and the 2 1/8 at the top Score at ½ , 5/8, 1, 1 1/8, 1 ½, 1 5/8.
2. Using an Accordion Fold, fold one mountain the next valley all the way through all the scores. Burnish them down so they are tight.
3. Make some of your own Self Adhesive Card Strips. Take a long piece of Neutral Card Stock or a Coordinating color to your Designer Series Paper.  Take a strip of Tear & Tape and place it on the edge of the Neutral Card Stock. Then with your Paper Trimmer cut the Cardstock self adhesive strips at ¼ or 1/8” so you have your strips.
4. Using a ¼” Cardstock Strip Run it on the backside down the ends, holding the folds together.  Burnish well so they don’t pop apart.
5. Turn to the front.  Take 1/8 Card Stock strips and put them on the edges, burnishing them down. Then run an 1/8 strip across the top and bottom.
6. Whisper White Solid Bakers Twine ( You can use 1/8 ribbon or any other Thick Bakers Twine) cut 2 2 ¾ pieces and attach to the back of the mask with glue dots.
7. You can spread it open and keep it open with a strip of self-adhesive card stock (About 2”) a long the back of starting from the top middle to the bottom or at least the last pleat. This will make it hard to put in a regular envelope so make sure you would like to do this.  Also if you mail it, it will get squashed. 

So not bad  and I will tell you it does get easier.
