Things You'll Need

• Snakeskin print fabric (see Resources)
• Iron
• Sewing machine
• Sewing notions (thread, pins, scissors)
• Serger (optional)

Instructions

1. Visit Discountfabricsusacorp.com (see Resources) and browse their complete selection of different snakeskin prints. Select the fabrics you like and purchase 18-by-18inch samples. These squares of sample fabric are the perfect size for making a bandana.

2. Finish the edges of the fabric square. If you have a serger, serge around all four edges without trimming any fabric off (just finish the edges). If you do not have a serger, zigzag stitch around all four edges with a standard sewing machine.

3. Press the edges under 1/8 of an inch. Pin the pressed and folded edges to secure, if desired.

4. Sew around all four edges of the fabric square. Place your stitching half-way between the folded edge and the raw edge and keep it even and straight around all four edges. Remove pins if necessary.

5. Lay the bandana square out and press it well to make it smooth and crisp.
