Don’t have a sewing machine?

No worries!

Our quick and easy DIY tutorial below will show you how to create your bandana in just a few short steps. 

 

What You’ll Need

  • FABRIC REM (1/2 – 3/4 yard)
  • SCISSORS
  • HEMMING TAPE or GLUE GUN
  • DOG COLLAR
  • IRON
  • MEASURING TAPE
STEP 1:
Using your measuring tape, measure the width around your dog’s actual neck. For a smaller dog, the average neck diameter is usually between 10″-12″.
STEP 2
Take your chosen piece of 1/2 yard or less fabric and fold it in half with the printed side on the OUTSIDE (lavender)
STEP 3:
Using erasable fabric chalk or your guided eye,  draw the outline of your bandana on the outside of the fabric to create your cutting guide. Use the diagram below to chart your course in inches adding 1/2″ to the actual measurements listed to allow for your hemmed edges . The top diameter width will line up against the fold of your fabric so there will be no need to cut. Using your scissors, cut the remaining pattern out against your fabric in accordance to the suggested measurements indicated.

STEP 4:

Open your fabric up in order to fold in the edges of your bandana and press with an iron to flatten the folds in place.

STEP 5:

Apply hemming tape or glue (from glue gun) to ONE SIDE of your opened fabric where you pressed a folded hem.

Once applied, fold fabric back in half lining up the edges so that they align and adhere closed

 * IMPORTANT: KEEP ABOUT 1 INCH AT THE FOLD TO ALLOW THE THREADING OF YOUR DOG’S COLLAR .
