How to Make a Tie-Blanket

By: Lauren Powell

Materials• Two pieces of fabric

that are 2 ½ yards long and 2 yards wide each (typically fleece works the best, because it’s the most comfortable)

• Fabric cutting scissors • Large floor or counter

top to work on• A vacuum to clean-up

afterwards  

Step 1

Once you have your two pieces of fabric you can wash them before working with them to minimize the mess afterwards, or just wash them after the blanket is all finished

 

Step 2 and 3#2 Find a large floor space or a big table to lay your pieces of

fabric out

#3 Get your fabric cutting

scissors

 

Step 4 and 5#4 Lay out the first piece

of fabric evenly on the floor#5 Cut along the

edges of the fabric if it is uneven or

frayed

Step 6 Cut each corner of

the fabric out, cutting 3-4 inches horizontally and vertically so that there aren’t any

corners on the piece of fabric

 

Step 7

Cut even slits 3-4 inches long and about 1 ½ to 2 inches wide on all four

sides of the piece of fabric, do the same for the other

piece of fabric .HINT it may help to lay each

of the fabrics on top of one another to make sure you

cut an even amount of slits to tie together at the end

 

Step 8

Once you’ve cut both pieces of fabric, lay them on top of each other and start matching up each slit and tie together

in a simple easy knot, be sure to tie the knots tight enough so that they don’t

come apart

Step 9 After you’re all done tying the

blanket, you will find pieces and scraps of fabric all over. Usually a vacuum works best to clean up 

Now, to wrap things up
