You will need 2 and half yards of fabric for one side. I made mine with a front and back color. Spread out the blanket on the floor |
Place second fabric directly on top of the first fabric |
You need to start by cutting off 4 inch squares from each corner |
Should look like this. |
Next using sharp scissors (makes life so much easier) start cutting 1 inch strips (I do one side at a time) |
Fold the strip over |
using your scissors snip a small hole into both fabrics |
the old way of doing the blankets was to tie the ends together, but this new way is much nicer looking |
sample of what the snip should look like |
Thread the double strip of fabric into the hole |
pull tight and it will look like this |
several done in a row to show you |
Firedrake now has her own blanket |
so does MarioFan |
I love this craft. It's perfect for kids.
ReplyDeleteooh, snuggly.
ReplyDeleteit was 15oC here today...whatever that is in old money - 60ish?
Still not a flake of snow!
What a fabulous idea, my two would love doing this little project... thank you for sharing.. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe have the blanket problem also. I hate having so many blankets lying around on our couches, but they are always getting used. My son just recently did a service project where they made blankets like this for Children's Hospital.
ReplyDeleteNice! :) I like flannel on one side and Minkee on the other side. My little girls and I each have one of these.
