Recently I showed you how to make a cute felt flower dog collar embellishment for your pooch, but you might remember way back in December when I first came up with the flower idea that I told you I'd been making bandanas to slide over my dog's collar for a few years.
We've never been able to get bows to stay on our Pomeranian, Monica. They just drive her crazy and she paws them off her head. For awhile we tried tying bandannas around her neck and that didn't bother her, but they fell off easily. That's when we had the idea to sew them with a little tube at the top so they slide right over her collar. This solves the problem of them falling off and getting lost.
They stay in place and they look adorable on a boy or girl dog, so I thought you'd like to know how to make a slide-over-the-collar dog bandanna for your puppy. It's a great way to use up scrap fabric, it only takes about 15 minutes and it's super easy. I've made it even easier by creating the template for you! So join me after the jump to learn how to make your own dog collar bandana.
P.S. Did you know you can spell "bandana" with one or two N's? Bandana or bandanna is acceptable according to Dictionary.com. Weird, right? Okay...on with the tutorial. :)
