How to Make a Bandana Wristband
You can easily transform a bandana into a cute wristband. It's nice that there are so many patterns and colors to choose from these days. However, the traditional navy or red bandana seems to go with any pair of casual jeans. To dress up your outfit, choose a coordinating colored bandana and attach a fancy pin to the top of the wristband. This simple project will take only minutes to complete, but is easier if you have someone to help you do it. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Tie a bow out of ribbon and place it under the pin on the bandana wristband, for a dressier look. You can make your bandana wristband without the pin. Just turn the bandana so that the tie is on top of or at the side of your wrist. You can make this wristband wider for a bolder look.
