Step 1: The Hack

1. First, you need your unfinished mask - one side needs to be open. Remember, the complete tutorial on the face mask is here.

Stitch 0,5 cm from the upper and lower edge from the right side of the mask.

2. Fold one short edge (not the open one) 1 cm in and stitch.

3. Next, take the wire and make a round loop at one end. This will prevent the wire from making a hole in your fabric.

4. Insert the wire in the tunnel in one of the long sides. Push the wire in until you feel it has reached the other side of the mask.

5. Then bend the wire where the pocket is attached.

6. Pull the wire out until you see the bent point.

7. Cut the wire where it bends and make a loop.

8. Push the wire back in.

9. Now is the time to fold the open short edge in and stitch. If you did everything right, the wire ends where the pocket starts and folding the short edge will keep the wire in place.

That's it, not so difficult, was it?
