DIY Bandana

Decorate a bandana for the shelter animal to wear when they are adopted. Helpful Tips: Fold the bandana in half, corner to corner, to get an idea of what it will look like when it is worn by the shelter animal. Place a piece of paper or cardboard under the canvas to avoid the markers bleeding through.
