DIY Face Shields to Battle COVID-19

With the shortage of PPE face masks and face shields, people are getting creative in ways to produce them during this time where we are all urged to stay home.

Take a look at this innovative design to make DIY Face Shields for Healthcare Workers created by Zac (GimmeBuilds) using 4″ Cable Ties  .  Zac has created a simple way to make shields at home and is donating them to his local healthcare facilities.

You too can help by making these face shields which are vital, and in great need during this time.

Another innovative design stemmed from healthcare workers having soreness behind their ear after wearing masks all day.  To take pressure off the back the ear, a piece of plastic hanger strap is attached to the elastics with 4” miniature cable ties.

All of us at Nelco wish you and your families to get through this pandemic safely.  We thank all the healthcare workers, first responders, teachers and the American public for doing their best during this trying time.
