Hi there, I don't know about you but my son loves having a special item from home for nap-time at his daycare. Occasionally however things get forgotten or ... messy. So I decided that we would make him a special nap-time blanket that could be left at his daycare unless it needed to be washed so that it would not be forgotten anymore. He was in love with this project and it didn't take long enough that he got bored before it was completed. This is just a simple tie blanket that takes about an hour to make from start to finish. I have also made scaled up versions as well as versions that are a little more work because they are made up of squares but this one is just perfect for a little one.
Materials:
- Scissors
- 2 pieces of fleece 1 meter in length (make sure they are the same width for a twin bed get 1 1/2 meters).
Instructions:
- Lay out your fabric and meet up the corners, try to lay it flat so that your edges stay together nicely.
- Cut a 4 inch square out of each of the corners.
- Cut 4 inch lines all around the outside of the blanket approximately 1 inch apart (to make strips along the outside).
- Tie the strips together all around the outside using your knot of choice.
- Stretch the material to get your nice rectangular shape.
- Enjoy your new blanket.
Please use caution when using sharp objects.
