How to Fold Bandana

A bandana, or do-rag, is a versatile, utilitarian piece of clothing that still functions as a fashion statement. The most popular way of wearing a bandana, by far, is folded into a triangle and then tied onto the head. Women in particular wear this style as a fashion statement or to keep their hair clean and tucked away while working. You may see men wearing this style, too.

Things You'll Need

• Iron

Instructions

1. Lay your bandana out flat on a solid, flat surface. If it's wrinkled, iron it to remove the wrinkles.

2. Fold one corner of your bandana to the opposite corner. This forms a triangle shape.

3. Drape the bandana over your head. The middle point of the triangle should be in the back of your head, and the longest straight part of it--the fold--should be over your forehead.

4. Pull the two side points of the triangle around to the back of your head and tie them in a half granny or square knot.

5. Tuck the middle point of the bandana into the knot you started, then finish tying the knot. This keeps the middle part of your bandana from sticking up.
