Make a No-Sew Face Mask in Five Minutes with UAB Arts in Medicine

By Shannon Thomason

In just 5 minutes, you can make a face mask using a T-shirt and sharp scissors.

A T-shirt mask tutorial from Lillis Taylor, artist-in-residence with the Institute for Arts in Medicine at UAB, shows how to make a mask without sewing that properly covers the nose and mouth, including the chin. The tutorial includes a demonstration of best practices for removing the mask after use and for washing and drying it. The video is posted on the Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center’s YouTube page, along with other activities and lessons.

Masks or face coverings are required in all public places in Birmingham effective Friday, May 1. The Birmingham City Council on April 28 unanimously approved the ordinance requiring face coverings for all people age 2 and older.
