A Great Gift for Anyone
Not sure what to get your friends or family for Christmas? Why not make them a tie-blanket! Instead of buying an overpriced blanket from a store it is a lot cheaper to make your own. You can even customize your blanket to your liking, so its a win win situation! My mother and I started making them a few years ago and realized how easy they were to make and how big of a hit they were as gifts. If you are wondering how to make them, then just keep on reading.
First off, you are going to need to go to the store and buy two pieces of fleece that are each two yards long. You can buy the same color or design of fleece for both sheets, but we personally enjoy having a design on one of ours and a solid color on the other. Once you have both of your pieces of fleece you will need to lay them on top of each other and smooth them out. Then, on each of the corners cut out a three inch square. This may look a little silly at the beginning, but trust me it will look great in the end. Next, you will need to use the width of a ruler to measure your tie widths. Then just simple use your scissors to cut four inches up. Make sure you cut through both pieces of fleece so you can tie them together. Once you have that done on one side, then you can start tying your knots. Then, just simply do the same thing on each side of your blanket. And thats it! You're done with your tie-blanket. It's really that simple to make and most people love having a nice cozy blanket during the winter.
