Enclosed Face Shield Hood Pattern Tutorial
I have been worrying a lot about our re-entry to school and daily life, since there are still so many questions about how contagious and dangerous the COVID-19 virus is. In an attempt to stop wallowing in my worry, I got to work coming up with a pattern for a fully-enclosed fabric hood and clear plastic face shield.
- Made from materials that are easily accessible and inexpensive.
- Uses a baseball cap as the support structure, which allows for a more comfortable and cool fit.
- Allows the wearer's face to be seen (important for lip reading and speech).
- Causes minimal glasses fog.
- Washable for repeated use.
- Has a double layer of fabric, with no gaps, to prevent germ transmission.
- NOT for hospital or medical use.
- NOT OSHA certified.
- Pattern is FREE to download and use for non-commerical, personal production.
Download the pattern to print HERE. This is a large (24"x14") page. If you have trouble tile printing it, try the multipage pdf HERE.
RESOUCES:
I purchased the plastic (polycarbonate) from TAP Plastics. One sheet can be cut into enough for 12 shields and costs around $13 for the sheet.
unable to print on my imac to my hp printer … I can only print one page , no poster, tile options . Help
Thank you for the printing help. I have the pattern printed out now.
I love this! Any chance you have a pattern to fit a small child?
I am only able to download one page of pattern. I use my Android and Cannon home printer. How do I get the full pattern. Thank you for sharing your pattern.
When I download the facemask pattern I only get one page to print, not 8 pages. It doesn’t matter which browser I am using, there is only one page, not 8. Would you please email the 8 pages to me?
I LOVE this pattern, and am scheduled to start teaching an adult clay class in September in Arizona, which is still pretty out-of-control with COVID. This fully enclosed mask will be perfect!
Thank you!
