Fold, shorter edge to shorter edge, in half right sides together and pin in place to prevent shifting
Mark 2 points at 4 cm from corners of all 4 corners fabric, Mark from those points to make triangles. Cut off these triangles.
Sew around the two long sides including the triangular cut sides but leaving open the ends between the cut triangles.
Turn right side out. Smooth and pin. Sew around outside of edges
Fold up along line that runs across from lower outer edge to lower outer edge of where triangle cut. Sew along long folded edge.
Repeat with top. This results in a rectangle.
Along ends of rectangle place elastic. Fold fabric over elastic twice to enclose elastic. Sew in place.
Repeat for other side.
Open long edge of one side, fold back to top fold. Pin. Repeat similarly on lower edge. Pin.
Sew from top to bottom along elastic edge to attach these folds in place.
Repeat on other side.

Insert a wire inside top edge of the mask at the nose area to prevent glasses fogging up. Twist ties, aluminum foil works.
Cut a piece of aluminum foil approximately 5 inches by 7 inches. (12 cm by 18 cm)
Width depends on the width of your mask. Fold it many times lengthwise to form a wire.
Facial Tissue
Fold tissue paper about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the edge then fold back and forth like an accordion.
Wear the tissue on the bridge of your nose under the mask.
