"Soft Fleece Blanket"



Here is another great easy crafts for kids. Our children can make this soft fleece blanket to give to a sibling or grandparent as a wonderful gift or keep for themselves to snuggle up in while watching their favorite movie.

You can purchase fleece at any material store or even at Wal-Mart. Let the child pick out what they want: could be a sports theme, favorite animal, floral print or color or even a favorite disney character. (You will need same amount of cordinating color for underneath of blanket.)

Follow these easy 1-2-3 steps:

Step 1: CUT
Cut out the desired size of blanket you wish to make. Lay your printed piece of fleece on top of the solid piece, WRONG sides together. Cut a 6" square out of both layers at each corner.

Step 2: FRINGE
Create the fringe by cutting the outer edge of the fleece every 2" and about 6" deep. Cut through both layers of fleece around all 4 sides.

Step 3: TIE
Join the fleece layers by knotting the fringe together, using one strip from the printed fleece and its corresponding strip from the solid fleece.

That's it. Easy as 1-2-3. Now you may even want to make one of these soft cuddle blankets for yourself. ENJOY!!
