Face Mask with Paracord Straps—More Comfortable Than Elastic

⮦TIMESTAMPS BELOW⮧
With elastic being in short supply, it's hard to make DIY reusable face masks. This design uses no elastic. Instead it uses paracord to tie behind your head. This project is easy enough for kids to sew and doesn't require much previous experience. Plus, this mask keeps straps off your ears—preventing sores after long hours of wearing.
