Face Masks
Where To Buy...
Generally cloth masks, like these tie dye ones, aren't medical grade and should be used as an extra layer of protection against viruses and disease and not as a means of prevention.
If you're looking for just that, you can shop for masks with a brilliant splash of colour online at these stores. Or, get crafty at home and tie dye your own with tie dye kits and a few simple instructions.
Under Victorian regulations, it's mandatory for everyone to wear masks or face coverings while out in public. Non-compliance can result in a fine of $200. In NSW, face masks are now encouraged, but not mandatory. More details in Finder's complete guide to face mask rules in Australia.

How to tie dye a face mask
Tie dying a mask is a very easy DIY craft activity. You'll need a plain white mask, rubber bands, liquid dye in squeezable bottles and rubber gloves.
Then, it's a matter of choosing a pattern you like.
For example, for a spiral pattern, pinch your mask in the middle and rotate it until it's tightly bunched, similar to a rose. Then use a rubber band to hold it in place.
For a striated lined pattern, lay the mask down flat and then fold one centimetre of the edge down, flip the material over and fold the material back on itself to make a pleat pattern. Continue until you're left with one thick band and add rubber bands or string to keep it together.
Once you've wound and banded your masks, place them on an old wire rack and pour the dyes on. You can use one colour or multiple colours dropping them in various spots.
Then, wait for your masks to dry and unband them for the final reveal.

What are popular tie dye patterns for face masks?
Spiral
The spiral is one of the most classic tie dye patterns and is a radiating swirl of colour that is created by twisting your material before dyeing it.
Reverse
Instead of bright colours on a white material, the reverse pattern allows you to tie dye on a dark material.
To achieve this effect, you'll need bleach. Roll your material into a tube shape, wrap the bands around it at intervals, bleach the material and then add colour to the bleached sections.
Crumble
If you're not set on a pattern then crumbling is the easiest way to tie dye.
Scrunch the material into a crumpled ball, wrap rubber bands or string around it tightly and then dye and dry.
Folding
This technique gives the result of a grid-like pattern.
To create this, keep folding your material over itself a few times then using your dye bottle, drop the dye onto the folds to create a panelled pattern.
Ombre
The ombre creates gradients of colour and uses a paintbrush to soften the colours.
Pour the dye into sections and then use wide paint brushes to wash the colour across, like a watercolour painting.
