I bet you’re wondering why I’m wearing this spiffy yellow bandana that says American Journey.

Well, in actuality, it’s not a bandana. It’s a bib! A bib, because my pals over at Chewy.com sent me a bag, and not just any bag. A bag full of MEAT!

Friday Fetch: Billy Wolf Fine K-9 Coats

November is officially here, and in Pennsylvania that means that I will be wearing my coats most of the time while outdoors now. I’m always on the lookout for stylish coats, so when I came across the Billy Wolf Fine K-9 Coatery I knew I had found a winner.

Ammo the Dachshund // Friday Fetch // Billy Wolf K-9 Coatery

From Billy Wolf:

After several failed attempts to find her dog a tasteful coat, fashion designer Lyndsey Drago took to her sewing machine and tailor made her Chihuahua Cujo a tartan plaid coat from an old jacket that had grown too weary for wear. With Cujo sporting his new coat, Lyndsey was stopped block after block on their daily walks by strangers complimenting his coat and requesting one of their own for their pooches. Thus, Billy Wolf Fine K-9 Coatery was born.

Billy Wolf also makes pet bandanas and Leather Collars.

Birthday Week: DIY Pet Birthday Bandana

Birthdays call for celebration, and what better way to celebrate than a spiffy new bandana to let everyone know it’s your Birthday!

Birthday Week // DIY Pet Birthday Bandana // Ammo the Dachshund

And because I want everyone to celebrate with me, here’s a tutorial I created to help you make your own pet a celebratory bandana.

Materials:

Birthday Week // DIY Pet Birthday Bandana // Ammo the Dachshund

Step 1: Using a ruler and cutting utensil, cut a bandana sized piece of fabric out of your material. We used a bandana I already had as a template, but you can also measure your pet’s neck and add about 4″ to be able to tie it. You might also opt to sew the edges of your bandana to prevent fraying before moving on to step 2.

Birthday Week // DIY Pet Birthday Bandana // Ammo the Dachshund

Step 2: You will need your HOORAY! stamp for this part (my mom carved mine, find out how to carve a stamp here or find out how to purchase one here). Use your sponge brush to apply screen printing ink or acrylic paint mixed with Textile Medium to the stamp.

Step 3: Stamp your fabric in several places, re-applying paint after each one. Then allow to dry.

Adding another color can add to the overall effect.

And when you are all finished you will have a spiffy new bandana that’s perfect for celebrating my Birthday with me.
