Homemade mask clips for masks

Having foggy glasses when we wear a cloth mask is not very pleasant. This problem can be solved with these up-cycled aluminium bars that you insert in the mask while you make it or sew afterwards.

An elegant solution to prevent fogging when wearing a fabric mask is to add a metal bar that, by taking the shape of the nose, prevents air from passing over it. These one are made only using up-cycled materials such as disposable aluminium trays.

The finished size is about 1 cm width and 12 to 14 long, depends of the size of you tray. You can do several bars in a tray. I made seven in a round tray.

You will need

aluminium disposable tray
scissors
a tool to flatten the aluminium (I used a mending egg I had on hand, scissors wrists might do the trick)
sandpaper or a nail file to smooth the ends.

How to make

Cut the tray to flatten it.

Cut strips about 4 cm by 12 to 14 cm long. Flatten well.

Fold the ends towards the middle. Flatten.

Fold in half. Flatten.

Ces deux masques en tissus ont une barrette métallique intégrée dans l’ourlet du haut. Deux coutures verticales sur les côtés bloquent la barrette.
