Maker questions: home-made face masks

Several people have asked our MakerSpace facilitators for patterns to make face masks at home, what materials should they be using and where to donate extra masks they have made. In this selection, you will find three different methods to make your own masks depending on what you have on hand, research about the efficacy of fabric masks as well as explanations about why these masks can be helpful and when they should be used.
