How Do You Make A Bandana Purse?

Lay the bandana on a flat surface. Fold it in half lengthwise and then fold it again in half across the width so that you have a square that is 4 layers thick. Turn the square so that the folded edge is at the bottom.

Use matching thread and sew by hand on or with machine up the 2 sides of the square. Stitch close to the edge allowing a 1/8 inch allowance. Use a contrasting thread for more interest.

Leave the top open to access all 3 sections. Whip stitch up the sides of the purse with matching or contrasting embroidering thread for decoration. Use at least 3 strands of floss and an appropriate needle.

Attach a length of grosgrain ribbon or webbing for a handle or shoulder ... more.

Those big bandanna cuff bracelets you see on men and women are easy to make. You can create a bandanna bracelet in five minutes, and have a great casual look. In fact, you can use any handkerchief or cloth square to make a fashionable fabric cuff for your wrist.

When your bandanna bracelet becomes soiled, you can pop it in the washer, and start fresh the next time you want to wear it. Spread your bandanna out on a flat surface. Fold the bandanna in half as a triangle.

Start with the tip of the triangle and begin making tight folds lengthwise. You should end up with a long narrow strip of folded fabric. Leave an inch of the folded bandanna loose on the underside of your wrist, and wrap the rest of it tightly around your wrist again and again until there is just enough left on the end to tie to the loose strip on the other end.

Tie the ends together in a knot and poke the tails inside the fabric cuff. More.

Bandana quilts have been a quilter's staple for some time. The colorful, pieced together look of many bandanas sewn into a quilted pattern is always a treat to see. Whether making these artistic quilts for family or friends, these are heirloom items that will be treasured for years.

Acquire a sufficient number of bandanas for the project size. Cut the bandanas into the size and shape called for in the pattern. Double the number of bandanas if this will be a reversible bandana quilt.

Cut an equal number of quilt backing material the same size as the bandanas. Sew the bandanas together, either seam allowance side out for a more ragged look or together right side in for a finished appearance. Use a walking foot on the sewing machine to better feed the material through the sewing process.

This will help keep the layers from shifting. Place a bandana right side down on a table. Put a piece of the backing material down on top of that.

Finish by placing a final bandana right side up on top ... more.

Pull the bottom tip up and make a 2-inch fold. Continue folding the same length until you reach the long end of the triangle, making a strip. Place the bandana strip on the underside of your wrist.

Have someone help by pulling the bandana up to the top of your wrist and criss-cross it. Bring the bandana ends to the under side of your wrist and tie a square not (or tie it twice). Pin a decorative pin over the top of your wrist where the bandana criss-crosses.
