06 Aug DIY Nauti Dog Bandana

Suns out, funs out – which means it’s time to head to the water! So when your little matey romps along the sandy shores, this easy-peasy craft is just the thing to ensure they do it in style. 

Today we’re whipping up a fun and flirty DIY Nauti Dog Bandana. No sewing skills required! And with Summer in full swing, we thought it’d be sweet for our pups to strut their stuff on the beach in this adorable attire.

You’ll need…

Tip: The size of your dog bandana will depend on the size of your dog’s neck. As a guideline, you’ll start with a square piece of fabric for the base that is:

• 14 to 18 inch in size for small to medium sized dogs
• 22 to 26 inch in size for large to extra-large pups

Fold your square in half (diagonally) until the two points align and cut along the fold using pinking shears, so that you end up with two triangles of fabric. You’ll only need one triangle for this project. So the other can be set aside or used to make a second bandana. 

Check out our video tutorial below to see how the finishing touches are done!

Tie the bandana loosely around your dog’s neck, creating a chic double knot. Be sure that it’s not too snug. You’ll know it fits perfectly when you can easily get a few of your fingers in between their neck and the cloth. 
Time for the beach! ⛱
