We recently moved lil Bro into a big boy bed.. Sniff sniff. The problem is its a very themed bed.
Big bro has a fleece tie blanket and I figured how hard could it be, well thanks to pinteret no DIY project is too hard to conquer!
I took a trip to Hobby Lobby, without a coupon! but still was able to grab a yard of red fleece and a yard of firetruck themed fleece for about $13
The best thing about this blanket is its NO SEW!!
1. Line up the 2 layers and trim the edges
2. Cut strips the entire length, about 2 inches, remember the more you cut the smaller your blanket becomes.
3. Tie knots.. I tied a line at a time, I even had a "helper" wake up from his nap.
5. Ok so for the edges you don't have to make slits the entire length because you take your scissors and just cut this square off!
And thats it!
A couple tips, do not tie to tight or it will make it more circle shaped.
I saw some that said tie like a balloon but it made the knots harder where if you just do 2 regular ties they stayed soft.
Id day it is a hit!!!
If you have a smart phone, you can download a mobile coupon at hobbylobby.com. All you have to do is show the cashier your phone to get 40% off one item. :)
