Dog Collar Bandana

My neighbor recently purchased a dog collar bandana at the vet for her dog. It was made of fabric that was Halloween themed.  It got me to thinking..."I can make that and make it better!!"
So here's how I made mine!
First measure out the fabric needed. For a large bandana you will need two pieces of coordinating fabric that measures 10"x9". For a small bandana you will need the pieces to measure 7"x6".  Make sure to iron your fabric.

Next cut the points. Fold the fabrics in half the long way. For a large, mark 4" from the end. For a small mark 2.75" from the end. 

Cut the fabric from the mark you just made to the folded corner.
I choose to monogram my bandanas at this point. I centered my monogram here:
Place right sides together and sew the all the edges except the top. Turn right side out and sew around all the edges in matching thread. 
Turn the top edge down. Determine this size by the size of the collar you are using. For the large bandana I turned down 1.5". For the small I turned down 1". Use a zig zig stitch to sew the top down.

You are done! Admire you great work!!!
