Making a waterproof bandana
Hello everyone! I know this may be a bizarre post, but I need some advice on something. I am making a 20x20 bandana with a custom print on it and I am wearing it as a wrist accessory. However, I would also like it to be waterproof (please don't judge me for my absolutely weird fashion choices lol). I was trying to find a suitable material for it and I came across swimsuit lycra. Do you think this could work for a bandana? If not, do you have any recommendations? Thank you so much for your time!

Just curious....why waterproof? That could make the fabric harder to fold and shape. There are furniture treatments that will help with making fabrics water resistant. https://www.fabricfits.com/fabric-protector/

They make a waterproof product for shoes, boots, tents etc.
This link I found by doing a Google search. https://www.tripsavvy.com/best-water...sprays-4773587 Since this is a piece of art you want to save. I would do research and not try the first thing you come across. I myself have ruined a project or two by not taking my time to find the correct or right solution to my preserve a project. Use a "test" fabric similar to the piece you want to waterproof and watch the results. |
Or you could try PUL fabric - it's already waterproof, washable and durable:

I didn't think your question was bizarre at all |
I'd try the swimsuit lycra, it's made to get wet, it's soft and pliable.

Not many know about this fabric product. The fabric stays soft and flexible but completely water proof.
