The Tarble and EIU’s Department of Public Health, Department of Theatre, and Department of Art + Design have partnered to create a series of online DIY mask-making tutorials meant to guide you through making your own mask. The series will begin with rudimentary no-sew processes in kit no. 1, and build to teach more advanced construction and sewing skills in kits no. 2 and no. 3. All levels of makers are welcome, and kits include all the needed materials. Instructions can be used on their own or in conjunction with the video tutorials.
