We have a Cocker Spaniel named Cooper, whom we adopted from the Humane Society.

He’s my buddy and a special member of our family. to reflect the special bond that we have, I created this cute personalized dog bandana for Cooper.

I’ve created several things for Cooper; Dog Cooling Mat, No-Sew Dog Bed, a Glow-in-the-Dark Leash, and a Dog Crate Organizer.

Cooper loves to explore parks. The other day we spent a lovely afternoon in the park together.

Since he has been such a great dog, I created a personalized dog bandana for him. I also made him a DIY Dog Snuggle Blanket and a cute Instagram Dog Bed.

This double-sided bandana has embroidery on each side for a personal touch. The bandana slips on over Cooper’s collar.

Dog Bandana Pattern & Tutorial

How to Make a Personalized Dog Bandana

The only thing that you might need to purchase for this bandana is fabric if you do not have any prints you want to use on hand.

One fat quarter works for the small bandana if you want the same print for both sides. Otherwise, you need two fat quarters or small pieces of fabric.

I picked two prints from my stash and made a medium size bandana for Cooper.

One of these was a dog print.

Dog Collar Bandana Tutorial

• Download and print the dog bandana pattern linked in the tutorial below.
• Prepare your fabric.
• If embroidering, cut out rectangles of fabric to match the outside measurements of the bandana. I marked the diagonal cutting lines for embroidery placement.
• Embroider your desired design on each side of the bandana.
• Remove the stabilizer and the fabric again.
• Finish cutting out the bandana pieces.

• Place the right sides of the fabrics together and stitch.
• Open up and iron the seam flat.
• Stitch down ½” along each side and press.
• Lay the right sides together and sew along each diagonal.
• Turn the bandana right sides out and press.
• Stitch along each diagonal and across the top.
• Stitch a line parallel to the top right above where the diagonals start.

• Slide the personalized dog bandana over your dog’s collar. Isn’t that cute?

I love how Cooper’s new personalized dog bandana turned out.
