May 28, by Anne Weaver. 4 Comments

Did you know that you can greatly improve the fit and the seal of your fabric face masks by adding bendable nose wire? It can be molded over the nose and fit individual face shape better.

Are you making face masks but struggle with nose wire stay? If you are not sure which is the best readily available material for nose wire piece, worry not! At hellosewing.com we gathered the most common materials you probably already have at home and tested them all to find which one work best as nose wire stay.

On top of that, we asked our crafty readers for even more ideas, and they delivered!

Enjoy this excellent roundup of the best nose wire piece materials and find out which we think are the most suitable, which are simply ok, as well as few very exotic ideas. the best thing is, that you probably have at least one of these at home and can put our ideas to the test.
We’ve already designed 6 face mask variations and have quite an experience sewing up masks with flexible wire nose, so we also share few of our favorite ways to insert the nose wire in the mask.

    I used plastic coated garden wire. When I ran out I went to the hardware store and bought plastic coated electrical wire. That has been the least expensive and words very good.

    I I use Chenille Pipe Cleaners. I give them a good pre-wash and to date have not had any rusting issues. I fold the pipe cleaner in half. If provides a good seal along the nose and cheeks, and is comfortable for the wearer.

    For anyone making mask with nose wire: I purchased the bands that are used to close bags of coffee (after the first opening). Since I had to buy in quantity, I have plenty to share. If you PM me on Facebook, we can work out to get some to you.

    I use 1” x 3” pieces of foil from the bottom of disposable foil baking trays. I fold them twice lengthwise so that I have strips 1/4” x 3”. They are very strong and flexible.
