Day 18 of Make Madness – Dog Bandana

As you know, I make dog beds because I needed a bed that met our needs as dog owners.  I wrote about the beds here.  I use a Velcro enclosure and really try to minimize waste, but every now and then, I’ll have 1″ bits of Velcro left over.

As you’ve guessed, I kept them and I’ve been mulling over what to do with them when I had a light bulb moment, you guessed it, while I was walking my dogs. 😉

I had already been thinking about making bandanas for the dogs to commemorate St. Patrick’s Day and in a “peanut butter/chocolate” moment, I wondered about making bandanas and using the Velcro as the “tie”.

I didn’t make the St. Patrick’s Day bandanas because I found these nifty, sparkly bow ties instead, but the idea never left me.  So I’m going to give them a go.

Come back tonight to see how I did.

Until this evening,
