Folding technique: Iron your fabric and fold the edges to form a smaller square. Roll it 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!
Bonus: the bandana charm bracelet!
Super trendy, this version of the bandana—worn around the neck—is sure to become a must-have accessory of the moment.
Fold the bandana in half. Use rivets to secure the edges of the bandana, then hang small charms from them. And there you have it—a bandana with charms!
So, are you ready to put your bandana collection to work creating timeless accessories you can wear all year round?
The golden rule: always cut straight! How to recognize it? Grab two edges face to face and pull, then do the same with the other two edges. The straight edge is the least elastic direction of the fabric. This technique prevents your fabric from fraying too quickly.
Better to clean gently by hand with a damp cloth. Bandanas are made of cotton and can withstand water, but metal clasps and charms can tarnish. To keep your jewelry looking beautiful longer, remove it before showering or swimming.
