Follow the above video for the manufacturing of the masks. The correct measurements that must be used in order to fit over the N95 masks are as follows:
*Size: 16x8.5 or 16x9
*The pipe cleaner will be placed along the edge to have more coverage under the eyes.
*If using 1 pipe cleaner, sew a zigzag stitch over the pipe cleaner to secure it in place. If using two pipe cleaners, twist two together and fold the ends inward (so they don't poke out when washing) before placing.
