This ingenious video shows you how to make an origami face mask from paper towels which reportedly protects against coronavirus.
The DIY mask was created by professor Anna Myczkowska-Szczerska who works in the Industrial Forms Department at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts in the city of Krakow, Poland.
The mask can be created with just a thin paper towel, two elastic bands and a stapler.
The single-use masks reportedly "limit the transmission of droplets", lowering the chances of coronavirus carriers passing on the disease.
Staples are used to secure the mask the elastic bands go around the user's ears. The creators said the mask should be thrown away after each use.
Myczkowska-Szczerska, who heads the Designing Basics faculty at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts is a specialist in visual communication including papercrafts, posters and book publications.
The video is being widely circulated in Poland as everyone in the country is now required to cover their noses and mouths when leaving their homes.
Since most of the world went into full blown lockdown, coronavirus hacks aplenty have been keeping citizens in isolation busy.
When lockdown was first announced almost four weeks ago, panic-buyers stripped the shelves of supermarkets bare, fearing goods would dry up.
One top tip was to freeze milk in an ice cube tray for tea and coffee to avoid wastage.
According to eatbydate.com , fresh milk can be frozen for three to six months.
Though the texture and colour of the milk may change once thawed, it is still safe for consumption.
One the milk cube has been thawed at room temperature, it can be added to tea and coffee when desired.
Japanese tidying expert Marie Kondo has recently said the key to surviving lockdown is to stay organised and de-clutter your home.
The 35-year-old said for a happy home people should hang on to item that “spark joy”.
“The first step is to really visualise what your ideal lifestyle [looks like]. How do you want to spend your time at home?” she told CNN .
“Thinking about your goal for tidying is a very important step. In the KonMari method, there’s a very specific order to follow.
“It begins with clothes, then you move onto books, documents, “komono” (miscellaneous items) and sentimental items. But we always begin with clothes.”
