Japanese Designer Creates DIY Face Shields from Plastic Folders

Japanese Designer Creates DIY Face Shields from Plastic FoldersDesperate times call for cute creative measures.

Take this example from Japan, courtesy designer Eisuke Tachikawa. In the face of COVID-19, which can be passed from person to person via saliva droplets, Tachikawa has created a template for a face shield that can be cut from plastic folders.

In a video, Tachikawa shows how to use his free, downloadable template, a folder and a pair of scissors to easily create the face shield. Brilliant.

Tachikawa’s design firm has also created a number of humorous posters to remind people to stay two meters apart, using units like “one tuna,” “one tatami” and “one The Beatles.”
