My attempt at the mask from http://makefacemasks.com"> http://makefacemasks.com : takes longer, covers the chin better, but the sides worse. You should add some wire for the nose when you make this one (cc @clancynewyork ).

Brussels friends, please let me know if you need masks and I& #39;ll happy make them for you.
I can make them for the rest of the world too but Belgian post is really slow these days.
