Making Temporary Protective Visors
What you need
CLEAR Florist cellophane/wrap. The more microns the better, the thicker the better
Cut into 300mm x 400mm, use 2 layers (3 if thin)
If your cellophane is 800 wide then you can just fold it over
Bias Binding
Clear document folders
Instructions
Cut the document folders cut strips:
2 cm strip for the headband
1 cm strip for the bottom to weight it and hold it in place
Using 1m (metre) of Bias binding or tape:
Fold the bias binding in two and mark the middle
From the middle mark 117mm either side (bias binding is slightly stretchy so Stretch it out before you measure it to get rid of the stretch).
Attach the 2 cm piece of document folder 3 cm from the top (it helps to peg at either end to hold it in place).
Attach the 1 cm strip of document folder at the bottom.
Cut off the corners at the bottom to allow movement.
Now attach the bias binding or tape at your marked pieces to either end of the top leaving the mask bowing slightly. This will keep it away from the face especially if you wear glasses and stop it steaming up!
