This is a face shield design we developed to help in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. This is a simple cut and assemble design. All you need to do is print out the PDF HERE. Please feel free to use the files and email us feedback. This design is made for US paper sizing standards. Our goal is to offer a way for anyone to help make face shields with materials available at office supply stores.
First, print this out on Tabloid paper (or just measure and draw directly on clear plastic sheet).
Files are HERE.
1x Tabloid sized 1/32” PET-G sheet (can use polycarb or search for 10mil acetate online).
Ruler
Straight edge
Knife
Sharp scissors/shears
3 ring hole punch or single hole puncher
Elastic String
Zip Ties
Cut out all parts and punch holes using hole puncher
Zip tie (or use metal “officemate” fasteners) the two strips together.
Align edge holes of the head assembly (zip tie only second hole from the edge)
Attach elastic band to the very end holes.
Be sure to fasten the zip tie clasp end outward to avoid pinching forehead.
Make sure not to dead knot the elastic band. Tie a simple loop or quick release for nurses, doctors, and first responders to adjust to their head.
Attach face shield to head band assembly. Start with center hole first
