Right now, face-coverings are of the utmost importance - for both yourself and those around you And while the news might be littered with all kinds of examples of how to mask up, few - okay, none of them - are as delicious as this hilarious DIY face shield idea that's been doing the rounds on social media. Ladies, gentlemen, and others, we proudly present to you the Krispy Kreme Faceshield, which requires nothing more than a 12-box of Krispy Kreme box, some sticky tape, and a pair of scissors to make. To discover how to make your own Krispy Kreme Faceshield, check out the video below:  [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDmSl9uQ7sY]] This incredible idea - the effectiveness of which is, admittedly, questionable and certainly not to be taken seriously - was the brainchild of YouTuber Andy Clockwise. To create the Faceshield, all you have to do is separate the front of a 12-pack box of Krispy Kreme donuts in the way it's shown in the video above. <img class="wp-image-12603697 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/07/a3e672b8-donut-mask-1.png" alt="Krispy Kreme donuts." width="760" height="538" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]] After this, cut off the top of the box to the crease and fold over the cardboard sides to use as arms, which should wrap around your head. Once you've done this, simply secure the whole thing with sticky tape and voilà! A Krispy Kreme Faceshield. <img class="wp-image-12603700 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/07/e8b4a9fa-donut-mask-2.png" alt="People queuing for donuts." width="760" height="538" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]] However, in all seriousness, you should wear a proper mask, and if you're still not sure about why face coverings are necessary, don't worry, Bill Nye ( The Science Guy) has taken to the social media video-sharing app TikTok to demonstrate to people why face masks are important. Face masks have become a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/29/face-masks-us-politics-coronavirus">hotly debated</a> topic in the United States. While many opt to follow public health recommendations by wearing one in public in a bid to limit the spread of COVID-19, others see the coverings as an attack on individual freedom. "Why do people in the scientific community want you to wear a face mask when you are out in public?" Nye asks in the video. "Masks prevent particles from my respiratory system from getting into your respiratory system... Blocking the movement of air is an old trick." He went on, per <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/09/us/bill-nye-face-covering-tiktok-trnd/index.html">CNN</a>. [[tiktokwidget||https://www.tiktok.com/@billnye/video/6847284138202893574]] Nye demonstrates how a homemade two-layer cotton face mask with a pipe cleaner sewn in the top to conform to his nose prevents a candle from being blown out even when he blows hard through the mask. He then continues his experiment in a second video, showing how an N-95 also prevents the candle from being extinguished when Nye blows hard through it. [[tiktokwidget||https://www.tiktok.com/@billnye/video/6847284807072795910]] “The reason we want you to wear a mask is to protect you. Sure,” Nye says towards the end of the video. "But the main reason we want you to wear a mask is to protect me from you and the particles from your respiratory system from getting into my respiratory system. "Everybody, this is a matter – literally – of life and death. And when I use the word ‘literally’, I mean ‘literally’ a matter of life and death. "So when you’re out in public, please wear a mask."
