Easiest Dog Bandana DIY Ever

You Will Need

• 1 Baby Bandana Bib: I ordered this style because I needed one that was Prime-eligible (I was had a time crunch!), but there are SO MANY options! Keep in mind that these will only fit a small/medium dog; for a larger dog, consider using a regular bandana.

• 1 Yard Length Trim of Your Choice: I used a green pom pom trim from a local store, but you can also order similar options from Amazon or find an alternative at your local craft store.

• 1 Patch or Appliqué: I chose this patch, again, because it was Prime-eligible, but there are lots of cheaper option on Amazon! You can also check your local craft store.

• Needle and Thread, an Iron and Fusible Hem Tape, or Fabric Glue. That’s right, you don’t even have to sew!

That’s it!

1.) Cut your trim to fit the bandana edge.

Cut a little bit extra, just in case! You can trim it more closely later.

2.) Attach the trim using your chosen method: sewing, fusible hem tape, or gluing.

Choose your method and get to work! I chose to sew my bandana, which is probably the most sturdy but also most time-consuming option.

If you do choose to sew, you can keep your bandana looking neat by using a thread that matches the bandana’s existing stitch line and sewing along it. Sneaky, sneaky!
