Just wanted to share~
Bandannas aren't really expensive, and I have plenty, but I just couldn't resist. There was a sale on basic fabric prints at walmart... it was a basket of 'leftovers' where there was only about a 2sq.ft. of all different kinds left. I dug through the ones that were left - some really tacky stuff, let me tell you.

I found some really cute ones though. Army print, swirly designs, stars and stuff. But the cutest had to be the solid colors with paw prints and dog bones on it! So, I cut them up into appropriate sized squares / triangles and put "our" favorite color on them:









I think I found a new addiction... in addition to the collars!​

Thanks!! :D

Well, I just cut them into perfect squares (well, not perfect, but as good as it gets! :p), and then fold it over so the corners meet and make a triangle. Then I cut it on the fold... and I roll the long end over a couple of times so I can tie it ;)

lol!

bandannas are great right now ginger has one for breast cancer. it was actually one for us that I bought at giant tiger and cut it in half. when one's in the wash, she wears the other one and it's perfect against her black fur.

Those are cute! I always get holiday material at wal-mart and make Zoe a bandana and use some as a background for pics.

I think they're great !!! I was a nut when doing therapy visits . Always matched the season or my outfit. A bandanna meant " work " to the dogs.

Those are adorable! I love making bandanas. Tango has so many that I've lost count. I have a really tough time finding anything with paw prints and such on it though.
