Don’t know if this was posted but shop towels were recommended by the guy who invented the N95 mask material. He said they’re dense enough to protect anywhere from 75-95%.
You may be tempted to do the heavy duty ones but they may be too dense and will be hard to breathe.
If you can’t sew the video is how to make your mask using the shop towels without sowing.
I sewed and sent this one to my parents.

It ends up looking like this:
I added two plys of the shop towel between the cotton when I sewed it so I’m hoping that will get to about 80-90% realistically. I bought quite a few rolls bc I have no idea how long we’ll need to wear masks. You can wash them a couple times but ultimately they are disposable as the shop towel can only be washed so many times I think.
