Let’s be frank. We love hot dogs. And the best place to get your weiner fix is at your own backyard grill with your canine cook by your side!

Memorial Day weekend usually means backyard grilling sessions and activities that allow you to pay your respects and enjoy family time together. So as you break out the apron and tongs, fire up the charcoal and listen to the sweet sizzle of bbq and corn on the cob…why not give your little sous chef a sassy new style for this special occasion?

This DIY Hot Dog Doggie Bandana is not only simple and sweet, it’s the paw-fect holiday accessory.

You’ll need…

¼ – ½ yard red gingham cotton fabric
Wool blend felt (red, yellow and tan)
Brown Sharpie pen

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 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.

Step 2

Cut out one red felt hot dog shape, two tan hot dog buns and a squiggly yellow shape for the mustard.

Step 3

Glue the hot dog pieces to the bottom corner of the bandana in layers, starting with the bun, then the hot dog, the mustard…and then top it off with the other bun. Press each piece down in place and let everything dry.

Step 4

Give the hot dog embellishment a little flair by adding stitch marks around the buns with the brown marker.

Tie loosely around your dog’s neck, making a 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.
