My sister Alison and I may be crafty with our words, but not so much with our abilities to DIY things like face masks. Life has been a series of Pinterest fails and Etsy wannabe fumbles. But fortunately, we discovered a little life hack on how to make a face mask using a kippah, which is a Jewish ritual head covering (also known as a yarmulke in Yiddish). Sounds not so kosher, eh? At least, we’re not using them to DIY a bikini top? That would be ridiculous, because I don’t even wear bikinis!

Check out our rabbi-approved video on how to turn a kippah into a face mask below. You can also listen to our full podcast episode, where we chat about discovering this DIY skill in the Sis & Tell Podcast episode “Corona Kosher”.

First here are the materials you’ll need to gather in order to make your own yarmulke face mask:

• A kippah (the thinner material ones are better)

• A stapler

• Two pony tail holders

• Your adorable face
