After seeing a “pin” on Pinterest of a Red, White and Blue Bandana Wreath, I thought it might be fun to make one! Then to take it a step further, I thought, why not use pieces of fabric to do wreath instead of the bandanas. Here are the results:
Using 7 Red, 7 White and 7 Blue bandanas. Each bandana was cut in half, so the 21 bandanas actually make 2 wreaths.
Using 11 Fat quarters that I purchased and cut each in half, I was able to get the same effect with this dog paw wreath.
Here are the supplies. 21 Bandanas, and a wire wreath.
The bandanas were cut in half and attached to the wire wreath with a half lark knot.
THe 7 Blue Bandanas were tied together, then alternating red and white, using the remaining 7 red and 7 white pieces. Glitter stars were glued in place to complete the flag look.
Vega really wanted to wear a bandana too and pose for a photo!
Using fat quarters – 4 of the dark and 7 of the white. Each piece was cut in half with the salvage on the ends. They were then tied to the wire wreath with the half lark knot as well. alternating w=two white and one black print.
Then a bow was added made of dog print ribbon.
What do u put on the fabric to make it stand up ? My went fabric went limp
The bandana’s I used were already stiff, but you could spray them with spray starch and iron them to keep them standing.
What size wire wreath did you use for the bandana wreath?
I used a 12″ wire wreath form. Enjoy!
How did you tie the bandanas on – over all three sections of the wreath? Did you measure out and then pull through?
Yes, I tied them with a half lark knot, over all three rings (sections) of the wreath. I did not measure them out. After all the bandanas were on the wreath, then I spaced them out evenly.
