Most of the world is advised to wear a face-covering mask in any enclosed spaces because of COVID-19. Some grocery stores have even made it mandatory to wear a mask in order to shop. Masks have become more and more scarce on the shelves with such high demand.

Healthcare workers have even become desperate for masks and other supplies during this global pandemic. This has sparked people to grab their sewing needles and machines to make their own homemade masks.

But as for Safia Aggoune, she has found a nifty way to make a face-covering by using one sock!

This crafty woman went to TikTok to debut her sock mask trick and it has over 9,000 likes. It’s time to start rummaging through the sock drawer so you can finally have a mask to bring along with you.

2. You’ll take the sock and cut along the front fold of the sock to open it out

3. Open up the sock and fold it downwards so the heel of the sock is facing down

4. Now cut a vertical line on from the bottom of the sock leaving 2 inches of room from the top do this on both the right and left side of the folded sock
