Here's the fastest and easiest way to make a face shield.
All you need is clear plastic or acetate,
a surgical mask, and a cutter.
This method can be used when you have no access
to medical-grade PPEs, foam, garters, or other
supplies.
It takes ten seconds.
Take a sheet of acetate and bend it in the
middle so that the short edges align.
Make a long slit close to the edge at an 11
o' clock angle.
The slit should be about 3inches or 10 cm
long.
Thread the garters of the surgical mask through
the slits, outer side down.
The mask is to be worn inside the plastic
shield.
Adjust it over your face, and you're done.
You can add protective eyewear to the face
shield by doing the following.
After making the slit for the mask, make two
short cuts above it at a 10 o'clock angle.
With your glasses facing down, thread it through
the slits on either side so that they're securely
in place.
Thread the mask into the slots as normal,
and wear it.
While there's no substitute for proper medical
equipment, you can still benefit from some
additional protection when you have no other
options.
