Step-by-Step Guide on How to Make a Tied Fleece Blanket
Here’s how to make your very own DIY tied fleece blanket:
1. Lay out your fleece fabric so that it measures the size you want your finished blanket to be. For example, if you want a queen-size blanket, lay out two pieces of fleece measuring 90 inches by 84 inches each.
2. Cut off any excess fabric around the edges to give your blanket a clean finish.
3. Fold one end of the blanket over about an inch and pin it into place. This will form the top edge of your blanket.
4. Pin the other three sides of the blanket together to form a rectangle shape.
5. If using a sewing machine, stitch along the pinned edges of the blanket to secure them in place. Otherwise, use scissors to cut small slits in the corners where they meet at the center point of the blanket. Then tie a knot in the middle of each corner, pulling tightly to gather the fabric and create the “tie” effect.
6. Washing Instructions for Your New Fleece Blanket
To wash your new fleece blanket, simply throw it in the washing machine on cold cycle with like colors. Use a gentle cycle to prevent damage to the fabric, and avoid bleaching as this can cause shrinkage. After washing, line dry or tumble dry on low heat until completely dry before folding neatly back onto itself.
And there you have it – a beautiful, handmade DIY tied fleece blanket ready to bring warmth and comfort to your home!
