Here's what you'll need for this project:

  • Bandana
  • Iron
  • Iron on letters
  • Scissors

Prepare Your Bandana

Wash, dry and iron your bandana. Washing and drying the bandana will take care of any shrinkage the fabric may experience when new, as well as remove any extra dye or reside and make the banadana softer.

Iron all wrinkles out of the bandana to get a nice smooth surface for applying your letters.

Choose and Cut Letters

Select the letters you'd like to use, and cut them out of the sheet (if you're using that type of iron on letter). Be sure to leave the clear plastic coating on the letters if if you're using the sheet style.

Align Letters

Iron on Letters

Iron on letters according to your package directions. This package called for at least 60 seconds of hot iron, followed by time to cool.

Peel Off Coating

Once your letters have cooled, peel off the clear plastic top coating. This will leave the letter intact on your fabric, but remove the clear top and frosted edges.

Time for Wears!
