I just made my new FAVORITE head covering!

Ok, so I feel like I'm on to something here.  First of all, let me say I love bandanna's!  They are pre-cut, ready to go square-ish things that come in a TON of different colors and patterns!  They are PERFECT for a head covering... only thing is, I don't really like the normal way to wear them.  Put them in a triangle and tie them in the back... it's just not my favorite.  Not.... as cute as I want it to be:)  SO, I have come up with what I think is a really great way to make a bandanna into a CUTE snood head covering that is comfy, stays on your head, holds all your hair and can be worn a few different ways!!  Check it out!
So here is a back shot. I just love how full this is and how it falls in the back! 
This is the first one I made a week or so ago. I used some directions from online. It turned out good, but I like the new version that I came up with that is longer and the headband goes further around the head on the new one as well.
This is another way you can tie it:)
Or you can tie it and then tuck the tie under into the back:)
Thanks to my beautiful model Sammy for helping me out with these pics:) She loves pink!

I think this is great! I've been using the usual triangle bandanna to cover and have been searching for different ways to wear a bandanna covering... I really liked the pink covering that tied in the back over the bandanna as well as behind the bandanna :) The only thing is, is that my covering are to short and won't reach all the way, so I was wondering where I can find a longer bandanna?

Hi SisterErica, I'm sorry this is taking so long, I didn't see you had commented till just now!! My apologies! Ok, so the pink is my favorite too! thanks for your comments! This bandanna is just a standard bandanna, I just cut strips down the side of it, attach those strips to the front of the sides I just cut, then I fold the rest of the cut side as well as the back side to make a casing for some elastic. I thread the elastic in there and sew it at eather end so it's all bunched up and can hold my hair. That is how I am able to tie it:) I can try to make a tutorial for it soon if you would like?:)
