A method and an apparatus for making a non-woven fabric article are provided. The method includes providing a screen mold, disposing a formable material thereover, and evacuating air from the screen mold. The screen mold is made of a non-pliable material, and has an annular surrounding wall that defines an internal space, and multiple screen holes that extend through the annular surrounding wall and communicate with the internal space. The formable material is disposed over the annular surrounding wall and the screen holes of the screen mold, and then air is evacuated from the internal space via a suction device to form the fabric article.
