Now that we should be wearing masks with better filtration capabilities, do you find yourself scrambling for a fresh disposable mask just before heading out? Now you can better store them in our new, handcrafted Mask Storage Box. Simply keep the box near your door, open the lid and retrieve a new mask just before going out. The size of the box is also specially customised to be able to store standard size surgical masks (17.5cmH x 9.5cmH) or smaller in a horizontal or vertical manner. This way, you can organise the different mask designs or sizes of your family members so that they too can easily retrieve their preferred disposable masks. Two concealed wire frames hold up the shape of the box and lid and some hand sewing is required to bias bind the raw seam of the lid. This project is also available for physical workshops.
