2. Bag jewel with bandana and XXL dachshund pendant

How it's done

  • Thread your bandana band into a key ring.
  • Add large-hole beads.
  • Attach a chain with your favorite charms, and finish with textile pompoms.

It's quick, easy and looks great! All you have to do is hang it from a tote bag or purse.

3. Colorful bandana bracelet with gold chain

The perfect mix of textile and metal! This bohemian bracelet slips a strip of bandana into a stainless steel dropped chain.

The trick: tear your square of fabric by hand after making a small cut with scissors. Then thread it alternately through the chain links. Add star charms and heart sequins to personalize!

Silver version available: follow the same steps with a silver chain for a more discreet look.

4. Orange bandana necklace with worked beads

The bandana trend is worn around the neck! This necklace takes just 20 minutes to assemble and requires just a few products. It's the perfect assembly for a simple, colorful and effortlessly customizable bandana necklace.

Technique: cut your cotton bandana lengthwise and fold it into a ribbon. Thread with worked beads and rings, then finish with a pendant. The result? An original necklace that's perfect for wearing on its own or as an accumulation!

Who's it for? Ideal for beginners who want to try their hand at DIY jewelry without the hassle.

5. Bandana bracelet with charms

The bandana bracelet in an ultra-trendy double twist! This tutorial suggests two techniques for customizing your wrist and adding charm to your outfits.

Braided version: alternate two fabric colors (purple and fuchsia here) to create a multi-strand braid. Add charms (palm, heart, chili) and large-hole beads for volume. Perfect for a casual yet sophisticated look.

Knotted version: with a single bandana, make knots spaced at regular intervals, slipping twisted rings between each knot. Simple but super effective!

6. Women's bandana necklace with sun pendant

Three ways to create a necklace in one tutorial! This creative project teaches you how to transform your bandana into a unique piece of jewelry.

  • Version 1: thin braided bands passed through a large chain for a contrasting, modern look.
  • Version 2: wide strips folded like a bias, knotted together with charms, to create a charms bandana necklace.
  • Version 3: a wide band attached to a large chain with a central sun pendant for a claspless necklace that's easy to put on.

The advantage? All three versions use the same basic technique, but offer totally different results!

7. Colorful bag grigri with bandana and charms

The summer vibes bag jewel! This vitamin-packed grigri combines two braided bandanas with colorful charms.

Gift idea: this handmade bag jewel is the perfect accessory to give as a gift. Simple to make, economical and always appreciated!

8. Easy bracelet with bee charm

Another idea for a bandana to wear around the wrist. This DIY bracelet shows you how to turn it into a personalized wrist accessory.

The folding technique: iron your fabric and fold the edges to form a smaller square. Wrap into a triangle, then sew a chain to the ends. Add your favorite charms (bee, flower, daisy...) for a piece of jewelry that's 100% you!

This ultra-trendy version of the bandana, worn around the neck, is sure to become an instant must-have.

Fold the bandana in half. Attach rivets to the edges of the bandana and use them to hang small charms. And voilà, you've got a charms bandana!
