do-it-yourself mouthmasks

when you scroll through news websites nowadays, guaranteed that you see a picture of a person with a mouth mask. during this pandemic, people try to gain back control over a situation that is rather uncontrollable, by covering their mouths and noses. 

in belgium as in the rest the world, people started buying them like crazy. blame it on misinformation through media, or scared people on retail therapy, either way, it’s a burden for those who actually need them: our healthcare workers. 
hospitals are spreading messages, in the hope to restock their piles. because for them, it really is a matter of life or death.

we wrap up this story by applauding the creative entrepreneurs of haptic house studios, who started a campaign ‘make your own mouth mask’, to encourage everyone to do the craft ourselves. they hand you an easy kit to make the masks, and even drop them off for you. just send an email to heyhaptichouse@gmail.com with your phone number and home address. they are located and therefor focused on the antwerp region.
