How To Replace A Cloth Face Mask Nose Bridge
Cloth Face Mask Nose Bridge Replacement Tutorial
Are you tired of dealing with a face mask that doesn’t fit quite right? Do you struggle with the nose bridge slipping down or not staying in place? Well, you’re in luck because today we’re going to show you how to replace the nose bridge on your cloth face mask. This simple DIY repair will have you breathing easy in no time.
Before we begin, make sure to wash your mask before and after handling to ensure cleanliness. Lay the mask flat on a desired surface and steam it with a clothing iron to completely flatten and remove wrinkles. Be cautious when ironing as the machine will be hot to the touch.
Measuring the Width of Your Face Mask
Measure out the width of your face mask to determine the correct placement of the new nose bridge. Use a pen or pencil to mark the insertion point for the pipe cleaners. A fabric pencil would be better suited for markings as it can be easily washed off.
Seam Ripping and Cutting the Pipe Cleaner
Seam rip where the elastic portion is. If there is no elastic present, then seam rip along the top portion of the mask. Be mindful of where you place your fingers as it is possible to accidentally jab yourself with the seam ripper. Consider using a thimble for protection. Cut a 4” strip of pipe cleaner and use caution when cutting with scissors.
Positioning and Sewing the Pipe Cleaner
Position the pipe cleaner where the markings are and fold the fabric over. You may also use this as an opportunity to test out the positioning of the pipe cleaners before sewing the hem. Sew around the pipe cleaner using a desired stitch. A basic running stitch is recommended for ease.
Trying on the Mask
Try on the mask to ensure the fit is right. Bend the pipe cleaners to best suit your facial frame. If the fit is not quite right, you can always adjust the pipe cleaners to get the perfect fit.
And that’s it! With these simple steps, you can replace the nose bridge on your cloth face mask and have a comfortable and secure fit.
