Make Your Own Velcro Dog Bandanas

By Lora Jones


Nowadays, dogs have become more fashionable and glamorous than ever. They could be more spoiled too, but regardless of which these creatures remain sweet and cuddly. Velcro dog bandanas are another example of a fashion statement and has been gaining a lot of attention to pet owners due to its unique concept.

Indeed, who would have thought that these good ole' bandanas would be a great accessory for dogs?Apart from being an accessory, these neckerchiefs are actually a form of expression for both the owner and his dogs as well. These neckerchiefs come with different color and designs, one can always buy one for his pet but if you want to save some money then it's best to make your own one instead.

There are two ways to own a dog bandana. One can either buy from the nearest pet store or make one on his own. The latter may seem absurd especially with guy owners but actually making a bandana is a piece of cake. Even a seventh grader can create one himself or herself, as long as you have the right materials then you're good to go.

Some owners frown upon creating their own bandana because it may look very amateur. But this is actually where the fun begins. It may look rather weird the first time, the triangular part confusing, thread does not match with the fabric and all that, but you have to admit that these "disproportions'' can be funny and most importantly a milestone.

When making a bandana, prepare your scissors, measuring tape, fabric, needle and thread or sewing machine if you have one, fabric glue and a velcro. Bring out your measuring tape and put it around your dog's neck, list down the measurements however add two inches on the original measurement to avoid choking your dog.

Tying a neckerchief could sometimes be dangerous for your pet. Before you get into action, it is highly important to measure your dog's neck. If you own a large breed, then buying a neckerchief from the market could actually be a problem as standard size are mostly small. That could actually be another advantage when you make your own accessory.

Start this project by measuring your pet's neck. That measurement will serve as the length of the bandana. When measuring the neck part add two more inches and when you trace that length on your fabric, add at least one inch on both sides. Form or shape a bandana on the fabric, just make sure that two sides of the triangle is proportionate with each other.

Cut, pin and sew but leave one side open to be able to turn out your neckerchief and then close it. One can always put some add on to their neckerchief, this could be your pets name, a hero's logo and anything you think that could make it look cooler. There are a variety of fabrics that you can choose from, be sure to pick out the most appropriate.

Creating your own velcro dog bandanas is not only rewarding but a fun way to spend your free time. If the first project was unsuccessful, then go trace and sew another one.
