Introduction: DIY Elastics for Masks
More by the author:
About: I have been crafting as long as I can remember. I love sewing the most, but also love jewelry making, baking, painting and any kind of papercraft. I like to collect things I find on the beach and last but not …
I read yesterday, that elastics for masks are hard to get. I am hoping, that by posting it here, every sewer in need will find this simple alternative. Here is a trick from my granny:
Cut up old nylon tights!
Take a pair of nylons/tights and cut of one leg. Keep cutting (about1/2 inch wide) until you reach the toe. Pull and the nylon will roll up into itself. It will be like T-shirt yarn only a lot thinner and more elastic. It is also quite soft on the skin.
I also attached a video, it is not the best but I hope it will be easy to follow.
Keep sewing everyone and stay safe!
