Summer’s giving me a craving for making things with bandanas. These often gravitate towards patriotic themed projects but they don’t have to be. Bandanas come in a rainbow of colors and can be used to make a variety of things from home decor to fashion.
Here is some inspiration for things to make with bandanas.
