DIY pocket face mask

If, you find yourself needing a face mask,
here are two face masks you can make at home. 
One is sewn the other is no-sew. 
I made my DIY pocket face mask based on a @redlandcotton pattern tutorial on YouTube >> https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=kWnMjdbeZJk

I used a 9 inch by 18 inch piece of cotton fabric & two, 7 inch pieces of elastic.

Raegunramblings made a no-sew face mask. You can find her tutorial in the link below. She shows you how-to make a no-sew face mask from a short sleeve t-shirt, using the cut off sleeve and a strip from the shirt bottom for ear loops. https://www.raegunramblings.com/how-to-make-a-face-mask-from-a-shirt-no-sew/

Seashell door wreath

How to make a sea shell wreath
Sea shell door wreaths are an easy DIY at home or when it's rainy and your on a beach vacation. You'll need glue gun, glue sticks, a grape vine wreath and sea shells. I found my seashells on the beach. Starfish and sand dollars aren't as easy to find, so I bought some at a specialty shell shop called  Sea Shell City. They had a spectacular shell selection, and a really neat maritime museum upstairs. The sales staff carefully wrapped all my items in tissue paper and boxed them to prevent breakage! Nothing got broken, and I've had the box stored away for over a year.

HOW-TO:
Before I added glue, I arranged my items on the wreath to get an idea of spacing and symmetry.  I chose a alternating pattern and repeated it around, allowing space between items. Next, I added a little hot glue to the back of each shell, and then pressed them carefully onto my wreath.
