So many people have commented on the dog whining in the background, I thought I should pin a message. The dog is completely fine! He is a Husky and they are VERBAL! That means that they are sharing how they are feeling the entire groom. Sometimes that means they are howling loud enough for the neighbors to hear. I had just finished grooming him, and he is right behind the camera in a kennel. We keep dogs in kennels before and after the groom for their safety! His mom had been told he was done, and she was on her way. She just wasn't fast enough in his opinion, so he let us know how he felt about that. If that sound bothers you, don't consider going into a career working with animals. Some cats and dogs simply want to share their feelings. An updated version of this video is available at: czcams.com/video/YdAYd2NUvlk/video.html Remember, "fold the fold, then cut on the new fold".
Thanks for a lovely tutorial. Have just made 3 bandanas for the poochies for christmas. One for a Westie and one for a Border Terrier from the larger cut of fabric, and one for a Yorkie from the small cut. I doubled up the fabric and sewed all around, turned it right side out and it came out perfect! 😍
Thanks so much. The slight change from the pure triangle makes it so much easier to tie around their necks. I would not have thought of that. I really appreciate this tip.
Thanks a lot. I finally figure out the last fold and made tons of bandanas. Definitely putting bandanas on dogs at work... Thanks for your time making this video. I really appreciate it.
All these comments about a dog whining... Lmao stop. I'm a groomer and didn't even notice the whining until I read the comments after the video! We learn to block it out lol! Thanks for the tutorial! I was wasting SOOOOO much fabric cutting them wrong
Just came across your video today, and I have been looking for a way to make bandannas in mass quantity. I am a local pet sitter in the Spokane Washington area and now I will have a way to advertise my business and a little goodie to get my pet owners. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your technique! I was trying to find a simple to make bandanna for our rescue group fundraiser. Now I'm ready to give it a try! :)
Yay this is amazing thank you!! The first time I tried the last step, I ended up with a big V and a little triangle.. tried again, and got the big and small bandanas! Xx
@Blackmail The fabric is 100% cotton. It is the same type used for quilting. It can fray, but when you cut out the fabric using pinking shears (this cuts the fabric in a zig zag pattern--not straight) it almost completely eliminates fraying.
@@autumngrace3135 these bandanas aren't sewn, and typically are thrown away after a couple days, so they don't need to be washed. Yes, I realize this comment is 4 years old, but I just saw it.
Thank you! I'm always surprised when this pops up in social media groups that I belong to. I always think, "Wait a minute, that is me, albeit a younger and skinnier version." I am going to see if I can turn it into a quick TikTok.
Hey, I've managed to cut the two sizes as shown on this video. But am also wondering how to make a large and xl size bandanna, any advice? I've attempted it and messed it up!!
Yes. That is all I use. All the cotton prints that I buy are 45ish" wide. In fact I don't like the 60" fabric, because it makes them a little bit too big. When you buy 1 yard 7" that is 43", so it makes the square, once you cut off the selvages.
what is the dimensions for the material at 1 minute in the video, im finding it hard to find somewhere that sells fabric bigger than 1 metre, do u know of any place i can get this type of fabric
Any advice on how to get educated on how to become a dog groomer? I've been looking into it lately but some professional advice other than Google would be great haha. Tutorial was awsome by the way just made one for my border collie mollie
Couple ways you can go about it, you can get a job as a bather at Petco or PetSmart, then get paid to be trained. Pros: you get paid while learning, they have benefits. Cons: you have to sign a 2 year commitment, corporate grooming salon have a LOT of rules and regulations, the quality of the education you receive really varies from decent to really really crappy. Another option is to get a job at a independent grooming salon as an apprentice. Pros and Cons: All depends on who you are apprenticing too. If you find the right groomer, you can become a great groomer and have a good time. But you are also limited weaknesses the groomer might have. This option takes the most time. The third path is to attend a grooming school. This is what I did. You receive a much more thorough education. There are even some online schools (but do NOT use ABC, they have a really crappy reputation). The disadvantage is that it can be expensive. But if you attend a accredited school, you may qualify for student loans.
Hi kristina I love your videos, you should make more it helps me alot since im new to the hole accessory part of grooming here in the usa ( im from germany and there was never asked for that ) anyways I have been sewing the edges of my bsndanas now because I found them more proper looking but it takes me aaaages to get them done. So are other groomers usually just cut them? Customers are happy with that aswell??
Hi Lena. I have never had a client complain about the cut edges. And the zigzag border doesn't fray, so they stay really nice. I would love to make more videos. I have a dozen or so ideas but my camera got dropped and I haven't replaced it yet.
Lena lutz I am in the Salt Lake Valley in Utah. I don't teach but we have a GREAT support system here. We currently have study groups for working on Master's certification and we are always organizing seminars to work on different breeds.
Can you do a tutorial on how to cut bandanas from regular human bandanas. for small to medium dogs? I ordered bandanas for my groomer and thought they were already cut, but they are not. thanks!!
To get the exact amount with the least amount of waste, you want 1 yard and 7 inches. If the place won't see by the inch, then get a 1 1/4 yards. You will have a little bit of waste, but it is the closest.
I had a bunch of questions about how to cut the fabric if you have something more or less than the exact length. A lot of people had problems with the last cut. So I finally made a new one, showing how to create a square of fabric, and I slow down and show the last cut twice. "Remember, fold the fold". czcams.com/video/YdAYd2NUvlk/video.html
Sorry, I didn't see your question sooner. The big one will fit a Golden retriever. The only breed it doesn't quite fit is a Newfie or St Bernard type of dog.
After you cut off the selvedge you have a square that is 43" x 43", that is cut in triangles and eventually cut in half. So using my maths, and the pythagorean theorem, the triangle before the last cut is, 21.5" on the edges and 30.4" on the long edge. Does that help?
Okay, I took it one step forward, after the last cut you are left with two different shaped bandanas. The "smaller" one is 30.4" on the long edge, the point is about 4" from that edge, the two angled edges are 15.7" each. The bigger bandana has that inward angled angle, they are 15.7" each and the outside edges are 21.5". Okay, enough math for today, I got a kitty to give a haircut too.
Most cotton fabric that you buy from the craft store is about 44"-45" across BUT you have to remove the selvages (the borders). Once you do that you have anywhere from 42-43" across, so to make a square you would buy that same length. 1 yard= 36" So I have found that buying exactly 1' 7" of fabric (if the fabric store sells buy the inch) makes for the least amount of waste.
I have a silly question...what is the purpose of the bandana? Is it just to look cute? Like just a nice touch to add so the owner knows the dog was tended to? I'm just curious as today when I got my dog's nails trimmed they put one on him, though they never usually do that just for his nails ($7 service, I'm not expecting these extra touches). The groomer gals were all over Charlie though, found him too stinkin' adorable so I imagine it's just a cute thing. :o) I guess I wondered if there was something more purposeful to it.
Just to look cute. The dogs I groom recognize that the bandana is the last part of the groom, so they get all excited when they see it. I normally put bows on girls, and bandanas for the boys. It is all just for fun.
Cool, I thought that was probably the case, but thought maybe it was also used so you know at a glance who is done and who still needs tending :o) Thanks for a fast response :o)
In my video I tell you not to cut the last fold (and then I fold through the longwise, which I do cut). If you wanted bandannas on the smaller end you could cut that last fold. Give me a second and I will figure out how big.
Okay, if I still remember the Pythagorean theorem, if you cut another triangle, the equal sides would be about 11" and the long end would be 15 1/2". See if that works better for you.
I guess it depends. The easiest thing to do is to find fabric that is 60" wide instead of the normal 45". If you want to end up with 16 of the large and 16 of the small, buy 1 2/3 yard of the 60" fabric (this will make it squares and limit waste). But if you just want it for one dog, buy as close to 30" of the fabric as you can, you will still end up with 8 of the small and 8 of the large. Then you would end up with bandanas that are about 30" long, at the neck on the smaller bandana , and 42" on the bigger one. If you use 45" fabric, the neck edge of the larger bandana is around 31". That is if i used the pythagorean theorem correctly. Let me know if that helps. If it doesn't, measure the dog's neck and we can figure out how to make the perfect bandana for the dog.
You could sew them. At the time I was cutting bandanas for 4 groomers and we went through at least 30 a day, so sewing them would have taken way too much time. Using pinking shears really does cut down on the fraying. Even after a month the ones I put on my own dogs will be dirty but they won't have frayed.
Yes, I buy shorter lengths all the time. I start out the video with the length folded in half, so you wouldn't do that. Make a triangle by folding from the folded corner. You will be matching the cut edge to the fabric's folded edge. The selvage edge is going to laying across the width of the fabric. Cut off the selvage, while cutting through the bottom fabric (so you should be cutting through 4 layers). Cut through the long edge of the triangle and cut the fold. Now you should have 4 large triangles. Now you can just follow the video from 2:31 and finish out cutting them. If that doesn't make sense I can make another video showing how to fold and cut odd lengths of fabric.
Thanks, very helpful! HOWEVER if using a pattern with a scene on it you have to cut them individually to avoid half of your bandanna's designs being upside down or sideways:( *Glad that fabric was on sale:/
+Kathy Federico Believe me when I say, I learned from experience. It is the same thing with larger prints. You can completely loose any idea of the pattern with the smaller sized bandannas.
When you buy fabric from most of the stores it comes folded in half length wise. So I am taking this first lengthwise fold for granted. At one point I open up the fabric and I talk about the "cut ends" versus the "selvedge edge". I really need to do a version showing how to cut the fabrics if you can't get exactly 1' 7". The basic concept is that you are buying a big square of fabric from the fabric store. You fold it in half to make a long rectangle, then you fold it in half again to make a square (with four layers of fabric). I hope that helps to clarify the first steps.
Come on people, dog are goods and lovely but that is normal sound. We have a grooming salon and we take a lot of care but that is normal. All groomer know that you can’t leave the dogs doing what they want. We teach the dogs with love and determination but you need to teach them. So the people that have complain about the noise are people that never give the dog a good teaching and the dog break everything in the house and make poo in everywhere. Start teaching your dog to make a better lovely friend that people can enjoy it.
+trueloveis4u You can still use it. The whole idea is to create squares so that you can cut them into triangles. Once you cut off the selvage (the long end), you should have fabric that is about 43" wide, folded in half, it is 21.5". So you should be able to have 3 full squares, with about 7" left over to do whatever you want with.
I have explained this so many times, I just should add it as part of the video description. It has been 13 years now, so I don't remember what the name of the dog was, but I do remember (from having to explain it all the time) he was a Husky. If you know anything about them, they are incredibly verbal. They "talk" the entire groom. That means that sometimes I need headphones to protect my hearing from the howling. That is just how they are. I had finished grooming him, and he was waiting for his mom to pick him up. He is in a kennel literally 2 feet behind my coworker, who was recording. We keep them in kennels when we aren't working with them for their own safety. I assure you he survived the experience, He just felt the need the share his feelings so we didn't forget he was there.
I'm not sure which fold you are talking about, since there is 5 or 6 of them. Technically you don't have to make any of the folds, if you can cut straight and are good at judging center lines. I'm not good at either, even though I have been sewing since I was ten years old. I also want the bandanas to be consistent size.
Thats what dogs are like in the groomers they hate it there its not a relaxing pamper day for them it can get stressful but its cruel to be kind once the dogs are done and back with their owner they feel 10 times better
Not a groomer I take it. Your comment is so misinformed. Yes, dogs love to get back to their owners, but grooming does not have to be stressful and they don't all hate it. Of the 500 doggie clients I currently have only a handful experience "grooming anxiety". About half of the dogs I groom run to see me. They "tolerate" grooming, but they love the attention they are getting. I've mentioned before that the dog in the back ground is a Husky and Huskies like to do a lot of "talking".
Don't ever get a dog then. They do a whole lotta of whining with little reason. And if you had read any of the previous messages I explain why the dog is whining. He isn't in danger, there is nothing wrong with him, he is a HUSKY waiting for his mom to pick him up. Husky are verbal.
"people get confused" because at the most crucial part of the video you are holding the material up in the air and go too quickly. the video was great up till then but then you ruined it. I recommend that you redo this video with you cutting material on the table not up in the air.
Thanks for the feedback. You are the first one to say they are confused. The people that were confused were looking at a diagram that I drew on paper. Once again, not a CZcams star here, just a pet groomer making a video with my camera. I do need to make another video, but that will be to show how to cut the bandanna if you only have a yard of material. If I ever get around to that, maybe it will make more sense.
First thing that caught my attention is that sound the dog is making. Come on!!!! He sounds like he's not cmfortable at all. I understand that this video is informative and helpful but i cant watch for 4.18 mins hearing the dog's cry
I would recommend that you never become a groomer..or have children, if that amount of whining bothers you. Come on!!!! He is in a kennel safe, waiting to be picked up by his owners. Some dogs are more verbal than others.
Kathleen Lu thats because you have never worked professionally with animals. Thats ok, but before you pass judgment educate your self a little. Im a dog walker/sitter/groomer all dogs whine, it dosnt mean they are uncomfortable. that is NOT an uncomfortable whine.
LOL Okay. I am a professional groomer, not a CZcams star. I recorded it because some friends were asking how I cut bandannas and they didn't understand the diagram I made. Back in 2011 this was the ONLY video showing this method of cutting bandannas, now there are dozens. Why would you even bother making a comment? Right now there are 34 people who didn't like the video. More power to you all.
So many people have commented on the dog whining in the background, I thought I should pin a message. The dog is completely fine! He is a Husky and they are VERBAL!

it doesn't look as bulky either. When I see dogs with an entire triangle, it looks like they've got a tablecloth tied there.
Thanks a lot. I finally figure out the last fold and made tons of bandanas. Definitely putting bandanas on dogs at work... Thanks for your time making this video. I really appreciate it.

I have some pinking shears from Friskers. They have soft handle inserts and cut really good.

Wish I could figure the last cut It just doesn’t work Help
Always wash and dry your fabric before project so it can shrink first before sewing, to prevent puckering
So I got lost in the mix..I wanted a bandana to wear in public during lockdown.. then found the video shows how to make 32 bandanas for dogs! 😑

Thank you!
Wow thank you!!
Hi! this is great! How do you make bandanas for Large and Xlarge dogs? Please
cool many thanks for posting this vid
how much fabric would I need if I just wanted a few of each fabric? I don't want to have 32 of the same fabric. Would I get 1/2 yard?
Thank you sooo much!!!!
thank you so much!!! O didn't get the proper yard next time though, messed up a couple times than finally was able to make some 👍👍👍👍
You're welcome!
Thank you for this video!!! It was much appreciated.
Can you let me know what type of fabric is best for this?
I prefer 100% cotton, but technically you could use anything. My vet uses flannel.
What do you recommened for a pitbull the first bandana you made or the second big one ?
The bigger one would work best. I like the smaller one for Shih Tzu sized dogs.
I have stuck with getting 44-45" wide fabric. Would this still work on fabric that is 43" wide? I'm just worried about wasting.
Yes. That is all I use. All the cotton prints that I buy are 45ish" wide. In fact I don't like the 60" fabric, because it makes them a little bit too big. When you buy 1 yard 7" that is 43", so it makes the square, once you cut off the selvages.
what is the dimensions for the material at 1 minute in the video, im finding it hard to find somewhere that sells fabric bigger than 1 metre, do u know of any place i can get this type of fabric
I buy mine at www.connectingthreads.com/fabrics/quilting_fabrics.html
1.25 yard on a 44'' wide cotton fabric is what you need to do this technique
what one would you recommend for a collie or a sheltie the big or small one
Definitely the big one!
ok thx
What kind of fabric is that? I have no idea what to buy that doesn't fray. Great video thanks
Using pinking shears leaves a zig zag edge so it cuts down on fraying. So I just use regular cotton fabric.
Also, where is your smock from? I love the v neck style!
It is a Jodi Murphy top. She has some really stylish grooming wear.
hay im going to go and try and do that

Got it all but the last cut it was hard to see
What are the total measurements of the cloth you have I'm the video. You just say 45. Is that it
Most cotton fabric that you buy from the craft store is about 44"-45" across BUT you have to remove the selvages (the borders). Once you do that you have anywhere from 42-43" across, so to make a square you would buy that same length. 1 yard= 36" So I have found that buying exactly 1' 7" of fabric (if the fabric store sells buy the inch) makes for the least amount of waste.

Genial
I would like to make small bandanas only....how would I do that?

Okay, if I still remember the Pythagorean theorem, if you cut another triangle, the equal sides would be about 11" and the long end would be 15 1/2". See if that works better for you.
How many yards for size xl
I guess it depends. The easiest thing to do is to find fabric that is 60" wide instead of the normal 45". If you want to end up with 16 of the large and 16 of the small, buy 1 2/3 yard of the 60" fabric (this will make it squares and limit waste). But if you just want it for one dog, buy as close to 30" of the fabric as you can, you will still end up with 8 of the small and 8 of the large. Then you would end up with bandanas that are about 30" long, at the neck on the smaller bandana , and 42" on the bigger one. If you use 45" fabric, the neck edge of the larger bandana is around 31". That is if i used the pythagorean theorem correctly. Let me know if that helps. If it doesn't, measure the dog's neck and we can figure out how to make the perfect bandana for the dog.
Just a FYI the cut edge is called the raw edge. The white is the selvage edge.
Great video, but can't you sew them to so they don't fray ?
You could sew them. At the time I was cutting bandanas for 4 groomers and we went through at least 30 a day, so sewing them would have taken way too much time. Using pinking shears really does cut down on the fraying. Even after a month the ones I put on my own dogs will be dirty but they won't have frayed.
thank you :)
Wouldn't they fray on the edges?
Cutting with pinking shears leaves a zig zag edge, which stops fraying. They get rough looking, but I've had them last on my own dog for a month.
I bought only a yard of cute Halloween fabric before I saw this video--will this still be enough? Thanks!
Yes, I buy shorter lengths all the time. I start out the video with the length folded in half, so you wouldn't do that. Make a triangle by folding from the folded corner. You will be matching the cut edge to the fabric's folded edge. The selvage edge is going to laying across the width of the fabric. Cut off the selvage, while cutting through the bottom fabric (so you should be cutting through 4 layers). Cut through the long edge of the triangle and cut the fold. Now you should have 4 large triangles. Now you can just follow the video from 2:31 and finish out cutting them. If that doesn't make sense I can make another video showing how to fold and cut odd lengths of fabric.
Thanks so much!
1 yard and 6 inches works too.
need measurements
I didn't even hear the whining until the comments haha, it really isn't that bad. Dogs don't like kennels so what do you expect? 😂
Thanks, very helpful! HOWEVER if using a pattern with a scene on it you have to cut them individually to avoid half of your bandanna's designs being upside down or sideways:( *Glad that fabric was on sale:/
+Kathy Federico I generally try to pick fabric that it won't matter.
+Kirstine Reynolds Yeah, I will do that "From NOW ON" lol
+Kathy Federico Believe me when I say, I learned from experience. It is the same thing with larger prints. You can completely loose any idea of the pattern with the smaller sized bandannas.
Can you please make a video when you get a moment by starting off with 1 yard.!! Thank you in advance :)
That has been on my to-do list since I originally made this. I will try to get serious about it.

Second fold shown not the first original fold... Causing issues for others how do you have two folds when you have only folded it once
When you buy fabric from most of the stores it comes folded in half length wise. So I am taking this first lengthwise fold for granted. At one point I open up the fabric and I talk about the "cut ends" versus the "selvedge edge". I really need to do a version showing how to cut the fabrics if you can't get exactly 1' 7". The basic concept is that you are buying a big square of fabric from the fabric store. You fold it in half to make a long rectangle, then you fold it in half again to make a square (with four layers of fabric). I hope that helps to clarify the first steps.

Bonjour, pouvez vous me donner la taille du tissu au début ? Merci

@@keyrayut merci beaucoup, je mis met dès demain 😉
@@elodieroyer8055 vous êtes les bienvenus!
✔️🐶
Excuse me lady, i don t understand English so good. Could you tell me please the measures of the fabric and the name of it? Thank you
Come on people, dog are goods and lovely but that is normal sound. We have a grooming salon and we take a lot of care but that is normal. All groomer know that you can’t leave the dogs doing what they want. We teach the dogs with love and determination but you need to teach them. So the people that have complain about the noise are people that never give the dog a good teaching and the dog break everything in the house and make poo in everywhere. Start teaching your dog to make a better lovely friend that people can enjoy it.
Who is th pup whining in the background?
It is a Husky ready to go home. But this was 12 years ago, and I cannot remember.
I have a dog with a 21 inch neck
lol I hear a shepherd whining
It's a husky, they whine a lot. She's very nice and good to the doggo!
Omg . The noiseeeeeeee
I should i saw this video before buying as i bought 2 yards of each fabric
+trueloveis4u You can still use it. The whole idea is to create squares so that you can cut them into triangles. Once you cut off the selvage (the long end), you should have fabric that is about 43" wide, folded in half, it is 21.5". So you should be able to have 3 full squares, with about 7" left over to do whatever you want with.

I can not watch the video in a relax way hearing the dog crying he sounds uncomfortable
Leniyems Victorero he's a husky not a well behaving 24 year old. All dogs do that lol.
Why that poor dog is crying?
I have explained this so many times, I just should add it as part of the video description. It has been 13 years now, so I don't remember what the name of the dog was, but I do remember (from having to explain it all the time) he was a Husky. If you know anything about them, they are incredibly verbal. They "talk" the entire groom. That means that sometimes I need headphones to protect my hearing from the howling. That is just how they are. I had finished grooming him, and he was waiting for his mom to pick him up. He is in a kennel literally 2 feet behind my coworker, who was recording. We keep them in kennels when we aren't working with them for their own safety. I assure you he survived the experience, He just felt the need the share his feelings so we didn't forget he was there.
You don't even have to fold it. Just cut it down the middle 🤦
I'm not sure which fold you are talking about, since there is 5 or 6 of them. Technically you don't have to make any of the folds, if you can cut straight and are good at judging center lines. I'm not good at either, even though I have been sewing since I was ten years old. I also want the bandanas to be consistent size.
This was very helpful but the sound of that poor doggy crying was killing me!
Don't ever get a Husky as a pet.
Thats what dogs are like in the groomers they hate it there its not a relaxing pamper day for them it can get stressful but its cruel to be kind once the dogs are done and back with their owner they feel 10 times better
Not a groomer I take it. Your comment is so misinformed. Yes, dogs love to get back to their owners, but grooming does not have to be stressful and they don't all hate it. Of the 500 doggie clients I currently have only a handful experience "grooming anxiety". About half of the dogs I groom run to see me. They "tolerate" grooming, but they love the attention they are getting. I've mentioned before that the dog in the back ground is a Husky and Huskies like to do a lot of "talking".
It is so sad to hear the dog whining
Don't ever get a dog then. They do a whole lotta of whining with little reason. And if you had read any of the previous messages I explain why the dog is whining. He isn't in danger, there is nothing wrong with him, he is a HUSKY waiting for his mom to pick him up. Husky are verbal.
"people get confused" because at the most crucial part of the video you are holding the material up in the air and go too quickly. the video was great up till then but then you ruined it. I recommend that you redo this video with you cutting material on the table not up in the air.
Thanks for the feedback. You are the first one to say they are confused. The people that were confused were looking at a diagram that I drew on paper. Once again, not a CZcams star here, just a pet groomer making a video with my camera. I do need to make another video, but that will be to show how to cut the bandanna if you only have a yard of material. If I ever get around to that, maybe it will make more sense.

First thing that caught my attention is that sound the dog is making. Come on!!!! He sounds like he's not cmfortable at all. I understand that this video is informative and helpful but i cant watch for 4.18 mins hearing the dog's cry
I would recommend that you never become a groomer..or have children, if that amount of whining bothers you. Come on!!!! He is in a kennel safe, waiting to be picked up by his owners. Some dogs are more verbal than others.
Thank you for the recommendation, I will keep that in mind :(
Thank you for the recommendation, I will keep that in mind :(
dogs always whine when they are at the vet or groomers! it's not a bad thing , they just miss there owner
Kathleen Lu thats because you have never worked professionally with animals. Thats ok, but before you pass judgment educate your self a little. Im a dog walker/sitter/groomer all dogs whine, it dosnt mean they are uncomfortable. that is NOT an uncomfortable whine.
This is a bad video, I don't like it
LOL Okay. I am a professional groomer, not a CZcams star. I recorded it because some friends were asking how I cut bandannas and they didn't understand the diagram I made. Back in 2011 this was the ONLY video showing this method of cutting bandannas, now there are dozens. Why would you even bother making a comment? Right now there are 34 people who didn't like the video. More power to you all.
Irene Chen, good grief. What was to like or not like? It was a "how to" on dog bandanas.😁 I LOVED it.
Kirstine Reynolds they can comment if they wants
I've found this video very useful, thanks
@@slut4adamcarlsen903 You sound so miserable.
Great video, thank you!
