Measure your dog's neck - be sure to add 4-6" to the diagonal measurement you need so you can tie a knot .

METHOD #4 DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LONG ENOUGH TO GO AROUND YOUR DOG'S NECK.

METHOD #3 IS MY FAVORITE WAY TO MAKE A DOG BANDANNA.

Method 1 uses the least amount of fabric. If you are using a thin fabric, it is better to use one of the other methods. This method will make a nice dog or cat bandanna if you use denim, poplin, or a medium to heavy fabric. Lightweight or thin fabric tends to crumple up and not be seen well.

Using the chart at the top of the page, cut a square of fabric to the right size for your pet. Don't forget to add a few inches to allow for a knot.

Embroider the a WACKY PUP design in two opposite corners.

Cut the square diagonally into two triangular dog bandannas.

Hem the edges using a sewing machine, serger, or iron on hem tape. Or leave them unhemmed and make a fringed or rag edge.

Now tie the banadanna on your Wacky Pup!

Method 2 is good for medium weight fabric. The bandanna will be doubled while it's being worn, but not sewn together, so just about any medium weight fabric can be used.

Method 3 is good for medium weight fabric, and about the only way to use lightweight fabric for a bandanna

The bandanna will be doubled and sewn together, so just about any medium or light weight fabric can be used.

Using the chart at the top of the page, cut a square of fabric to the right size for your pet. Don't forget to add a few inches to allow for a knot.

Embroider the a WACKY PUP design in one corner.

Fold the square with right sides together and hem the two loose sides. Be sure to leave a hole for turning it back rightside out.

Turn the dog bandanna right side out - you can sew again 1/4" from edge, if you want.

Variation 1: Fold the square with right sides out. Sew 1/4" - 1/2" from the edge and make a fringed or rag edge. You don't have to leave a hole because you don't have to turn it.

Variation 2: Sandwich rick rack, fringe, or other trim between the two sides as you sew.

Now dress your Wacky Pup in his or her new bandanna!

Method 4 is good for just about any weight fabric. This bandanna will be doubled and sewn together.

The bandanna can be much smaller than your dog's neck since it actually tied around them.

Cut a square of fabric to the right size for your pet. A bandanna as small as 6" diameter will work for most small to medium sized dogs.

Embroider the a WACKY PUP design in one corner.

Fold the square with right sides together and cut off two opposing corners.

Hem the two loose sides, starting about 2" down from the corner. Be sure to leave enough room to slip the collar through easily.

Turn the dog bandanna right side out - you can sew again 1/4" from edge, if you want.

Variation 1: Fold the square with right sides out. Sew 1/4" - 1/2" from the edge and make a fringed or rag edge. Be sure to leave a hole on each end to slip the collar through.

Variation 2: Sandwich rick rack, fringe, or other trim between the two sides as you sew.

Now dress your Wacky Pup in his or her new bandanna!
