Any mask makers overorder elastic and have some to spare? Looking for 1/4 or 1/8" flat elastic. I'm all out and want to make a bunch more masks for people that need them. Everything online is suddenly way too expensive or won't arrive until the end of May.

Sadly I don't have a bungee cord either. I'm useless.

I hope you find some! I'm almost out and then going to be using cotton Lycra ties.

I have read that cotton t-shirts cut into strips work. I just wanted to get enough so that if people needed any, they weren't all janky.

@agitprop91 yeah I've seen some really nice ones made with t shirt strips as the "elastic"

A friend is using the elastic from old fitted sheets.

@custody181 I just took apart two fitted sheets I bought at Walmart. The elastic feels much softer, too
