25 Uses for an Unused Covid Mask

Timothy is a Christian who enjoys creating visual art and writing. He has a B.S. in Psychology.

In my effort to do a little post Spring cleaning at my house, by post I mean in June, I came across quite a few types and styles of COVID masks. There disposable one, cloth ones, gators and more. I assembled them in a little pail and in the boxes they came in and stood back. I thought to myself, “What do I do with all these mask?” Some of them I would keep just in case I needed them again. Cross your finger we never do need them again. The others…well here is of list of 25 ideas I came up with for using and old COVID mask.

• Coffee filter (only the white porous ones)
• Can or glass cover at a picnic. It helps keep the flies and the bees out.
• Paint strainer. Again you have to use the white more porous one.
• Parachute for a toy soldier. It works better with a cloth one.
• Glass or can cozy for a cold one. It helps keep your hands warm.
• Sleep mask. You can use a gator or cloth one to cover your eyes.
• A handkerchief. The cloth ones work beat.
• A napkin. It seems like the cloth ones again work best.
• Depending on the mask it could be a wristlet
• Boat flags to represent the year we had
• Dust wipe.
• Oil checker to wipe the dipstick in your car.
• A flag of surrender

• Write the word “Occupied” on it and hang it on a doorknob.
• Put some rocks in it and use it as a ballon anchor.
• A slingshot of the rock throwing kind
• A bookmark
• Make a collage
• Create a 3D art project
• Eye glass cleaner
• Clean the inside of a windshield
• A rag to remove makeup
• Hang it on a mirror if you break down on the Highway
• Knit them together to create a blanket or rug
• The gator style can be turned into a headband
