NO SEW DOG BANDANA INSTRUCTIONS

1. Using a marker or pencil, draw the outline of your bandana on the inside side of the fabric. The outline will resemble an open envelope. To cheat the outline draw a rectangle 10 inches wide by 5 inches high, with the bottom of the rectangle at the edge of the fabric. Then simply rule a triangle on top of your rectangle to get the bandana shape. Note: you want the excess fabric at the bottom (where you drew the rectangle) as this will later form a loop around your dog’s collar.
2. Using your drawn guidelines cut out two pieces. Ensure they are as closely identical as possible and trim where required.
3. Get each piece of fabric and fold in the edges as pictured about half an inch and iron to hold the shape.
4. Apply hemming tape to one piece over the newly folded edges. Place the second piece of fabric on top and iron in place. At this stage all the patterned fabric should be on the outside. Once ironed thoroughly your hemming tape should have joined the two fabric pieces together to form the bandana.
5. Grab your collar and gently fold the top excess material once around to form a loop. Place one last piece of hemming tape across the bandana to secure the loop and iron on.

Ta da! DIY no sew dog bandana!

  • Remember, these no sew dog bandanas are NOT designed to be super durable. Machine washing may pull apart the adhesions, so they are not a long term clothing item.
