6 DIY Face Mask Storage Ideas

6 DIY Face Mask Storage Ideas

These DIY face mask storage ideas will help you keep some extra masks close at hand.

When the pandemic first started in March 2020, I quickly offered a basic face mask with ties pattern as an easy way to make a face covering for those who wanted a reusable alternative to a disposable mask.

I certainly didn’t think that a non-healthcare worker would need a variety of personal protective equipment options after that original need for the simple mask pattern.

But we did.

So, I continued to create and offer a variety different styles of fabric face mask patterns throughout 2020, because masks were being mandated many places and highly suggested in others.

Now we are in the final stretch of 2021 and masks are still an everyday necessity (with some exceptions).

However, some people still find themselves without a mask when the really need one, which is why I pulled together this list of face mask storage options!

Keeping one or more extra masks in your glove box, purse, or bag means you’ll always have one when you need it.

A Popular Face Mask Pattern: 3D Fabric Face Mask

If you’re looking for a face mask pattern that is slim and easy to store, a 3D face mask pattern is a great option.

This 3D mask pattern is also fun to make because it’s reversible so you can use two different fabrics for effect. The best part? It should take you less than 10 minutes to make!
