Over Collar Dog Bandana

Date Posted:1 September 2022 

Dog Bandanas are an adorable accessory for your dog, they are incredibly easy to make. These can be made one of two ways, this tutorial is for a bandana that you can loop your dogs collar through.

It would be best to make these bandanas out of a cotton fabric or a recycled denim. If you use any other fabric, it may be unsafe for your dog if they chew the fabric. This also goes for decorations/haberdashery. Tassels and pom poms are not recommended as they could be dangerous. In this tutorial we will be using a printed 100% cotton poplin for our fabric.

This project is great for all sewing levels, from beginner to advanced.

  • Sewing machine
  • Rasant thread (To match your fabric)
