Popularization of the Bandana

A seminal happening in the popularization of the bandana came during the American Revolution. Martha Washington, the wife of Continental Army general George Washington, had a souvenir bandana made featuring the likeness of the Commander-in-Chief.

We picked out our faves from my collection and made these masks, no sewing. Just get a few rubber bands and fold.
