The bandana is the trendy accessory that you can wear in a thousand different ways: around the neck, on the head, braided in the hair, as a belt or as a bracelet. In this step-by-step tutorial, we show you how to fold your bandana to wear it as a bracelet, then how to customize it for even more originality.
Don't hesitate to wear the bandana around your wrist! With jeans or a simple dress, at the market, at the beach or at a festival, assert your style by customizing this iconic accessory.

Another idea to personalize your bandana by mixing two current trends: Dye the white bandana in several pastel colors with our Izink fabric spray dyes.
Iron your bandana before you begin. Lay it flat with the back of the bandana facing you. Fold the edges as shown in the photo.
Then fold the other two edges to form a smaller square.
Fold the corners so that they do not show later. Iron the whole to mark the folds.
Then fold the square into a triangle.
Roll up the triangle starting from the widest part and making strips of a few centimetres. Flatten it with the iron.
Take sewing thread in the colour of your bandana and a sewing needle. Cut 1m of thread, thread it through the eye of the needle, then tie the two ends together with a double knot. Stitch through the back of the bandana, then thread the needle through a link in the chain.
Sew the chain to the bandana by stitching several times through the bandana and through the link, then tie a knot in the back. Cut the chain to the right size and do the same on the other side. Try to sew the chain at the same level on both sides.
Add your charms with open rings and two jewelry clips.
