How to make a mask using a T-shirt, no sewing required

A step-by-step tutorial on how to make a mask using an old T-shirt -- no sewing necessary.

PICTURES:

Step 1. Take an old T-shirt (the stretchier the better) and place your hand on the bottom, as pictured below, to measure how much fabric you'll need.

Step 2. Cut a straight line right across right above where your hand was.

Step 3. Starting from the left, measure about three hands-worth. Cutt off that piece on the end.

Step 4. Placing one hand on the left side (that's where your nose and mouth fabric will be) -- cut into the fabric, leaving two inch-long straps on the side. See the three pictures below.

Step 5. Unfold. Finished!

To wear, place the mask on your nose. Take the top two straps and tie them around your neck.

Then take the bottom two straps, and while wrapping the mask under your chin, tie them on top of your head.

This is your end result:
