People won’t believe you made this from bandanas.

This Bandana-Rama DIY kit helps you make your own mini crossbody bag using a stitch-free method — no sewing machine and no hand stitching needed. You’ll do a little ironing, cutting, folding, clipping, and gluing, then turn the pieces right side out to reveal a real little bag.

The design uses two coordinating bandanas, which makes the print pop and gives each bag its own personality. You can keep your bag simple or personalize it with the included fabric. Add a heart, flower, initial, or another shape to the front, back, or both sides.

Use your own design, or try one of our optional decorative templates, available as a free download. Choose your design, print the template, place it on the included decoration fabric, cut around the shape, and glue it onto your bag.

The finished bag is just right for little outings and everyday essentials: a phone, compact mirror, lip balm, keys, or a few small treasures. A magnetic snap helps keep everything tucked inside, and the crossbody strap makes it fun to wear.
