You’ll need…

¼ – ½ yard paw print cotton fabric
Wool blend felt (green, yellow and blue)
⅛ inch satin or grosgrain ribbons (green, yellow and blue)

Fabric glue
Scissors and/or pinking shears
Measuring tape

Step 1

The size of your 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, 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.

Step 2

Cut out three balloon shapes using the green, yellow and blue felt – or any colors that coordinate with your fabric. Glue them in place in the lower middle portion of the bandana.

Step 3

Next, cut three pieces of ribbon (about 4 inches long) that match the colors of your balloons. Tie a single knot at one end of each ribbon and glue the knot onto the base of the balloons. Give the ribbon a slight twist (or two) and glue the free end of the ribbon down onto the bottom portion of the bandana. Mix and match the colors of the ribbons and balloons to add a little whimsy to your design!

Step 4

Let everything dry. Then, tie the kerchief 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.

Aren’t these simply paw-dorable?! There’s just something about doggos in bandanas that’s so darn cute. And they’re a fun way to dress up your pup without putting them in full outfits. Here’s wishing a happy birthday to your pup!
