Paper Towel Face Mask

thingiverse

This frame converts a standard paper towel into a DIY face mask. Paper towels may not be as effective at filtering particulate matter compared to other materials used in DIY masks, such as 100% cotton, vacuum bags, and Tyvek. However, they can be more readily available in most households. The best use of this mask is to prevent people from touching their faces.
