  • A bottle top

2. To make a tie dye batik, you'll need:

  • Alcohol (isopropyl alcohol or ethanol-based liquids)

3. To accessorise your mask, you'll need:

  • Material
  • Glue
  • Paper
  • Buttons
  • ANYTHING!

Top Tips!

  • For material you can use a shirt, t-shirt sleeves, trouser legs or leggings.
  • Choose a soft material that will not irritate your face.
  • Light material is best as you will need to layer it.
  • The tube should measure approximately 18cm wide x 35 long.
  • If you need to make the tube, you will need a piece of material 38 wide x35 cm long.
  • For the filter you can use kitchen roll or lining material measuring 10x15cm, folding it in half to use as a double layer.
  • You should wash or change the filter after each use.
  • The string could be a shoelace or ribbon (or make it yourself by cutting a piece of material into 60x3cm).
  • SUPER IMPORTANT: Make sure to wash all materials before starting.
