Take one of the bandana halves and gather it together lengthwise, then fold it in half so that you have a loop at one end.
Place the open ends of the bandana underneath the wreath form. The open ends will be in the center of the wreath form and the loop will be on the outside.
Pass the open ends of the bandana over the wreath form and insert into the loop end then pull tight.
Repeat this process with all the bandanas (or as many as you like), tightening and squishing them all together until it suits you.
Use hot glue to secure the knots so that they do not loosen.
Fluff out the ends of each bandana.
Line your work surface with plastic trash bags or a tablecloth.
Form each bandana end so that it is open and "poofed" out.
Tear each piece of paper in half and crumple it into a ball. Place a crumpled ball into the end of each bandana to help hold its shape while the stiffener dries.
Use a paintbrush (or directly spray) to apply the fabric stiffener to the ends of each bandana. Saturate each piece, but it shouldn't be dripping off.
Allow to dry for 24 hours or whatever is recommended on your stiffener bottle, then remove the crumpled paper and hang your wreath!

Expert Tips & FAQs
Using fabric stiffener isn't entirely necessary, however, we highly suggest it if you plan on keeping this wreath outdoors. Even keeping it indoors did not prevent the bandanas from drooping, as they are of course fabric after all. You want to apply the fabric stiffener to each bandana until they're saturated, but not dripping wet. Allow it to dry and this will solve all the droopy bandana problems including keeping it safe from rain.
