Take the measurements on a sheet that you will then place on the fabric and join with the pins. Now cut out the fabric following the measurements taken on the sheet.

Place the elastic on the fabric and put the pins, now sew the elastic on the mask and the strips of fabric on the elastic. Your mask is ready. Here the complete video.
