A while ago I came across an adorable wreath made out of men's ties - you can see the picture here. So I decided to combine a project I did last year with the tie wreath to create a bandanna wreath...
I don't sew, so I used hot glue to make the pennant flags. Once they were made, I simply glued them onto a 13" wooden wreath that I purchased from the dollar store.
Here's a close-up of the bow I made using a bandanna. Yes, I am theme-obsessed!
This was super easy to make thanks to hot glue. Maybe one day I'll finally learn how to sew!

This is really cute. I just love Bandanas!
These are fantastic AND if I make them now, they'll be ready for July 4th, too. Found you on Pinterest...I'm definitely going to check out your blog. Thanks!
Thanks! I recently created a tutorial for the wreath that is included in a new eBook - here's a link: http://www.allfreeholidaycrafts.com/Editors-Picks/Handmade-Wreaths-for-All-Seasons-14-Wreath-Tutorials-eBook
I really want to make this for my son's cowboy party...how did you do the layering, and can I use a foam wreath?
I agree with Melissa...more details please on making this wreath.
Hi Patti - Sorry about that...I actually responded to Melissa directly through email vs. sharing with everyone!
I simply hot-glued the big triangles so that the upper right corner of one triangle hit the middle of the next triangle. I then cut small "accent" triangles that I glued in between each point to make the wreath look more full. I hope that makes sense. If not, just drop me a line and I'll try to be more clear!
And here is the link to a free eBook that featured this wreath - directions are included: http://www.allfreeholidaycrafts.com/Editors-Picks/Handmade-Wreaths-for-All-Seasons-14-Wreath-Tutorials-eBook
Ugh. I cannot figure out how properly fold the square into the triangle. I tried the tutorial but still can't seem to get it right? Any ideas?
Anonymous - I am anything but precise, so my advice would be to chose one design on the bandanna and fold the triangle shape around it. If you look at my triangles they all come to a point around the same little design on the bandanna. I hope that helps!
did you stiffen the fabric with anything?
Love your blog and this project - so creative and festive! Just wanted to let you know I featured it in my roundup of my very favorite July 4th projects here. Feel free to check it out if you want and hope you like it! : )
