Oftentimes, when we need something to go about our day, we ought to think that the most time-efficient and effective way is to go to a store and buy that thing. Well… that is not entirely wrong! But, in recent years, along with the environmental concerns that are being experienced by almost everyone in the world, people have started to look for alternative ways to acquire things. The top emergent idea out of the situation was the DIY culture.
To simply put, the DIY culture involves creating an item using other materials that are combined and adjusted to fit the expected quality of the said item. Budget plays an important role in buying and if something is expensive in the eyes of the buyer, that’s already crossed off of the list.

This is where DIY culture comes into play because you can make the same thing of the same quality by putting things together and applying some handwork on them. Yet, not only are you saving a hefty amount of money from doing it, but you have the total freedom to customize the item in many, different ways that a human mind can think of.
The Jelli M1 Mask is definitely the perfect item if you want to start practicing your DIY skills! Even though buying the mask already gives you everything you need— the mask itself, ear loops, and filter, you can still customize it on your own!

If you have your own set of ear strings that you want to use as ear loops for your Jelli mask, you can freely do so as the mask provides small anchors, on both sides of the masks, where you can securely attach the strings. And with the presence of head straps, you are able to freely adjust the fitting of the mask to your own liking and comfort.
Of course, the mask does not only serve its health functionality but also its aesthetic one! You can include stickers of your own choice in front or on both sides of the mask that match your overall aesthetic and fashion any day! Fret not because the mask’s functionality is not hindered even if you decide to make your mask a strong addition to your fashion statement.
The DIY culture might seem a bit tedious in reality but its significance draws us closer to the fact that there are many strategies in which we can achieve our goals and the realization of such goals are highly dependent on us and how creative we can get in times of doing things the other way around.
