Face Mask Chains: the Stylish, Practical Accessory

Now that we have to wear face masks whenever we leave the house, what do you do with it when it’s time to take it off? Do you put it on your table or leave it in your car? With these options, you risk losing your face mask and contaminating other surfaces. That’s where face mask chains come in.

Face mask chains are a new accessory that is similar to glasses chains, but for your face mask and they allow your face mask to hang from a string around your neck when you take them off. The chain connects to the straps on each side of the mask and wraps around your neck like a necklace. Once you’re a safe distance from others, you can remove your mask from your face and let it hang from your chest.

They work with the masks with elastic ear loops, not the ones with ties—the loops connect to lobster clasps on the chain. You can buy face mask chains from Etsy or you can easily make your own if you’re feeling crafty.

There are tons of colors and materials to choose from including beaded ones, lanyard-style straps, and delicate chains, which means you’re bound to find one in your personal style. You can even get a chain that matches your face mask.
