Method:

• Take one of your rectangles of fabric to an ironing board and press it in half, widthways.

  
  

  

  
  

• Open it back up and iron each side into the centre fold.

  
  

  

  
  
  
  

  

  
  

• Fold one of the shortest edges over by 1/4".

  
  

  

  
  

• Fold the entire rectangle in half once again.

  
  

  

  
  

• Sew it closed to make your tie.

• Repeat with your second rectangle.

  
  

  

  
  

• Pin the raw side of the tie to one side of a triangle, 1/4" from the top.

  
  

  

  
  

• Repeat with the other tie on the opposite side.

  
  

  

  
  

• If you are adding lace trim, pin it around the edge of the triangle, with the scalloped edge facing inwards.

  
  

  

  
  

• Pin your second triangle onto everything, right side facing down.

  
  

  

  
  

• Sew around the tringles, but leave a small gap at the top.

  
  

  

  
  

• Using that gap, turn the bandana right sides out.

  
  

  

  
  

• Iron it flat, folding the seam allowance at the gap to the inside.

  
  

  

  
  

• Oversew around the triangle, closing the gap.
