22 Times People Took Face Mask Design To Another Level
Interview With Artist
Face masks. They’re on most of our minds (and faces) these days. From simple surgical masks and super-expensive masks to DIY solutions, it seems that nearly everyone has at least one mask to protect them from the coronavirus when they go outside. However, some people are facing this crisis in style and have designed incredibly creative and unique face masks. While others are going for pop culture references with their own masks.
Bored Panda has collected some of the most awesome face masks that people are wearing or made with their own two hands, so scroll down, upvote your faves, and let us know in the comments which ones you loved the most! (My personal favorite is the Facehugger one from Alien.)

It seems like a thin piece of veneer stuck to a piece of some flexible black material to filter and the holes allow air to pass through the wood and the fabric. Three strip seems to be a flexible piece of metal so you can shape the mask around the bridge of the nose. It appears to be well thought out.

I feel distracted.... Not focusing on the mask too much because the hair are hiding it, maybe.

Unless you have a tight seal around the whole mask, they will not be of much help.
Mathias 6 years ago
Depends on what the goal is. To protect you from infection - for that they need not only a tight seal but also a material with according filtration capability, depending on virus concentration FFP1, 2 or 3. But wearing a mask reduces the risk to infect others by a lot. So if everybody wears a mask it protects - everybody. Also wearing any mask prevents the one wearing it from touching his mouth or nose with his fingers.

IDK how well these masks would protect anyone from any virus, but the imaginations are wonderful!

IN 20-30 years we'll be seeing some of these on Antiques Roadshow, they'll be collectors items, with awesome back stories about grandma's mask that perfectly matched her wedding gown, and grandpa's tuxedo mask. And aunt Sue's teeny tiny newborn baby mask with the pink Elastic ribbon

my husband has me cracking up he went to the store Saturday and while there he was looking for something to use as a mask. He came home and told me there were no masks but he found something in sporting goods.. he doesn't know what it is but he think it will make a good mask once he puts a lining in it for a filter.... the man bought an Athletic cup. He is from Egypt and where he grew up they were too poor to afford such things so had no idea what it was... he is still determined to make a mask out of it and disguise it but said "I need a smaller size" Cracked me up again imagining him trying to exchange it....

This is the best story I have heard since the quarantine began. Bless you and your darling husband. I would love to be there to see him exchange his athletic cup for something smaller 🤣

This is a great article and I love it, but I'm really concerned by the introduction, which is inaccurate and misleading. The vast majority of masks are effective at reducing the risk of an unwitting coronavirus carrier from infecting others by approximately a fifth. They offer little to no protection to the wearer against becoming infected. People should wear masks, but they should do so to protect others, not to protect themselves. When people think of masks as self-protecting, they're more prone to forget that they still need to socially distance whilst wearing it, which is dangerous. If people more accurately remember they're wearing a mask to protect others, they're more likely to continue to practice social distancing. Please, please change the article to reflect this!
