Referencing a helpful graphic from the CDC, Ellen followed the first step and cut the coffee filter in half. Noticing that it was taking the Finding Dory star a very long time to complete the simple step, her scene-stealing producerAndy Lassner chimed in from outside, "Are you still cutting the first one?" Ellen responded, "Yup, I want it to be perfect."

Then, she offered some tips on finding the perfect piece of fabric to use. "It says you can start with a square piece of fabric like a bandana, which I am wearing," she explained. "I'm not gonna use mine, it's too pretty…It's important for the material to be thick and tight, that's what it says." After hearing giggles over the mic, she quipped, "Yup, I knew you would like that one, Andy."

To create the mask, Ellen folded her fabric in half and inserted the coffee filter in the center. Then, she folded the fabric in half two more times and treated viewers to a little song. "The best part of waking up is Folgers in your face," she joked.
