Homemade Christmas Gifts – Tidbits of My Life

Hello everyone! I’m Abby over at Tidbits of My Life and am so excited to be a guest blogger and take part in a Homemade Christmas here at The Scrap Shoppe. I love crafting and am excited to become a mommy in a few weeks, which has inspired me to share with you this easy tutorial on a no sew blanket. You can make them in any size and they will sure keep you warm and snuggly during the cold winter months. I hope you enjoy the tutorial and please stop by and say hello. I am always posting crafts, recipes, and little tidbits here and there. Have a Happy Holiday 🙂

Scissors

{Directions}
1. Look at the printed fabric and see if you have wording at the end of the fabric. If so cut the wording strip off.

2. Lay the printed fabric on top of the solid fabric and trim the edges so they are the same size.

3. Pick a side of the blanket and cut your first strip at least three inches from the corner. Cut strips that are about 2 1/2 inches long by 1 inch wide. Make sure the printed fabric is still laying on top of the solid fabric why you do this.

4. Cut the corners of the fabric off. Continue cutting the strips along each side. If you want to work one side at a time you can.

5. After the strips are cut, tie each of them in a knot.

6. Work your way around the blanket and continue to tie each strip into knots.

7. After all the edges are tied, the blanket is done!

{A Couple of Notes}
I cut my fabric in half so I could have two blankets. If you want your blanket bigger leave the fabric whole. If you want an even bigger blanket then get at least 2 yards of fabric per each piece.  I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and have fun making a warm and cozy No Sew Blanket!

Yay! SO glad you posted this how to! I've wanted to make one of these blankets forever & figured I would wing it, but I now see there's some tricks I would have missed & messed it up by guessing my way through it! Thanks! :) Thanks also for coming by my blog! :)
