DIY Bandana Hair Bow Tutorial
Bandana hair bows are the perfect DIY accessory! They’re quick to make, require no sewing, and can be customized with any color or pattern.
Pin Recipe
Yield: 1 bow
Cost: $2
Instructions
- Fold the bandana in half, creating a triangle.
- Fold once more, bringing the tip of the triangle up, just below the top of the other side.
- Fold the bandana up, starting at the bottom. The width of the folds is up to you. Mine were a little larger than an inch.
- Cross the bandana over as shown (view blog post or video).
- Scrunch/pinch the center of the bow and hold into place.
- Wrap the hair tie around the center of the bow a couple of times.
- Pull to adjust the bow's size and shape, if desired.
- No need to glue the hair clips onto the bow; simply slide them behind the black hair tie to secure them in place.

Tips and Tricks
- Multiple ways to style. To use as a hair accessory, slide an alligator clip or bobby pin through the rubber band on the back. To make a pin, glue a pin back onto the bow.
- Adjust shape and thickness. Play around with how big you make the folds for different-sized bows.
- Reusable or permanent option. For a reusable option that allows you to use the bandana for other things later, make the bows as instructed in the tutorial. For a sturdier bow, add a few dabs of hot glue as you pinch the bow into shape.
