  • - Good morrow, fruit-lovers.

  • Did you know you can make your own fabric face mask at home?

  • I did.

  • I knew it.

  • I knew it even before I said it just then.

  • - Well good for you, Grapefruit.

  • Maybe let's show the audience at home how to do it?

  • - Very well.

  • Step One: Get your supplies.

  • A sewing machine, elastic, scissors and some fabric.

  • - [Pear] Tight-knit cotton fabric works great,

  • like a pillowcase or an old T-shirt.

  • - Beige?

  • Bro, would you live a little?

  • I'm going with flames.

  • - I don't think that's gonna make your mask

  • any more effective, dude.

  • - You kidding?

  • What airborne particle wouldn't be intimidated

  • by these bad boys?

  • It's just science.

  • - Moving on.

  • Step Two: Cut two identical fabric rectangles.

  • If you're making a mask for adults,

  • it's 9 inches by 6 inches.

  • If it's for a child, do 7 and a half by 5 inches.

  • - [Grapefruit] And if you're making the mask

  • for Little Apple, do zero by zero inches.

  • Heh, heh.

  • - Grapefruit!

  • - Also cut two 7-inch pieces of elastic.

  • Then it's on to Step Three.

  • Lay your two rectangles on top of each other.

  • If your fabric has a pretty side and an ugly side,

  • make sure the pretty sides are touching.

  • - What if you're like me and have no ugly side?

  • - Then sew yourself a gold star or something.

  • Step Four: Sew the pieces together

  • almost all the way around.

  • Make sure you leave an inch or two open

  • on one of the long sides.

  • Whenever you approach a corner,

  • make sure to sandwich one elastic strip end

  • between the fabric pieces like so.

  • - Remember, if you sew the elastic in now,

  • your mask will look great when you turn it inside-out.

  • If you wait and sew them in later,

  • your mask will only look sew-sew.

  • Heh, heh.

  • - Ugh.

  • On to Step Five.

  • Make three little folds on each side like this,

  • then sew them into place.

  • - [Grapefruit] And once you're done doing that,

  • it's time for Step Six.

  • Walk the runway in your new amazing-looking face mask!

  • - [Pear] I'll admit, you do look pretty good in that mask.

  • - [Grapefruit] Why, thank you.

  • - [Pear] Yeah, covering up half your face

  • really helps your look.

  • - [Grapefruit] Whatever, you're just jealous,

  • Mr. Beige Mask.

  • Now if you'll excuse me,

  • I'm off to sew myself that gold star you mentioned earlier.

  • - [Pear] Ugh.

  • (techno music)

- Good morrow, fruit-lovers.
