How to tie a bandana

There are basically three ways to tie a bandana. You can tie it to a skull cap, you can tie it as a headband and you can also tie it the old way.

If you decided to tie it as a skull cap, and has a small head, start with the front corner under further until the bandana is shaped more like a triangle. Otherways you start to fold one random corner of the bandana under until its tip is about 5 or 4 inches away from the opposite corner. Place this 5-sided shape on your head with the folded edge above your brows. Tie the horizontal ends around your head making sure the tip of the triangle and any extra fabric is tucked in so the bandana hugs your head like a cool skull cap.

Wearing it as a head band can also be a nice idea. Just fold the bandana a several times until it is about 2 or 2.5 inches wide for a head band. Then use a square knot to secure it(a square knot is secure but is easy to undo). Put the left end over the right end then the right end over the left, or you can do it reverse by starting with the right over the left then the left over the right. It's like when tying your shoe laces, the only thing you need to remember is to do each tie in reverse.

How to tie a double Windsor knot

Here's a how-to guide for those who want to learn tying a double windsor knot. Follow each step carefully, especially at the critical point 4. Otherway, there's a big chance that you screw it. Good luck!

1. Buy a normal tie with bright colors

2. Unpack the tie and then wrap it around your neck. Keep the pattern side out. Wide part to your right, end of the thin side a couple inches above your navel.

3. Grasp the thin end with right hand and pull the wide end over the thin end.

4. Wrap the wide end around the narrow end, so the wide end is back on the right and the pattern side is facing your luscious belly.

5. Take the wide end and shove it down through the loop by your neck. It should come back out to the right of the narrow part and the pattern side will still be face down. Try to make the knot way close to your neck.

6. Then wrap the wide end over the narrow end again. It will be face up, to the left of the narrow end. Note that the wide end is the only one you ever handle? It is the business end. It should be pointing directly at your crotch.

7. Push the business end up through your neck hole using your middle hand. Pull the narrow end to tighten the knot a little bit closer to your neck.

8. Congratulations! The knot is tied.

How to tie a Toga

The citizens of ancient Rome used to were a garment on official occasions called Toga. The garment is does not consist of bed sheets or curtain fabric, no it consist of quality materials. The most usual modern material is silk, which will provide a greater comfort to the user.

Therefore it's better to buy 4-6 yards silk fabric and then you need to wrap it at least 1.5 times around your waist before you throw the remainder over your left or right shoulder.

If you are a male

Put it around your waist once or twice, then pin it.
Throw the rest over the left or the right shoulder. I recommend the right.
Then around the back.
Pin it at the waist.
Done!

If you are a female

Just add small horizontal bands (leather, chain) accentuating waist and bust line.
