DIY bandana skirts...

these are perfect for the '4th of july'.

i saw this tutorial on pinterest and i just had to try it out.

 let me just say how easy it was and inexpensive.  overall cost was  $2.50 per skirt! 

  i found the bandanas at walmart and just grabbed some extra fabric for the bottom

 of the skirts while i was there too. 

*first iron the bandanas and cut in half with some fabric scissors.

*next i cut the 2 strips of the other material {checked material}

 the length of the bandana at 4 inches width

 {you could cut it wider if you want the skirt to be longer}

*place raw edge towards the bottom of the skirt with the "right side" of fabric facing up

*sew your strips onto the bottoms of the bandana then press with an iron.

*right sides together, line up your seams where the bandana and the bottom strip come together, sew together both halves to create a tube.

* next sew as close as you can to the bottom open edge of your casing 

{this will help to slide your elastic a lot easier}

and Voila!

look how adorable they turned out!!
