Easy no sew blankets!!

If you want a quick, easy, fun project here it is! These are so great because there is absolutely no sewing involved and they turn out beautifully!! I've made a couple to give as gifts and I want to go out and get more fabric to make my kids one as well. Here are the easy steps to make them.

Step 1 - you need 2 pieces of matching fleece fabric. It looks best when you use a print and a solid but you can use 2 solids if you like. You will need a yard and a half of each.

Step 2 - Lay both pieces of fabric on the floor (right sides facing out) one on top of the other. Smooth both pieces of fabric so there are no wrinkles. Cut about 2 inches around the whole perimeter to cut off any salvage pieces and to have 2 even pieces of fabric.

Step 3 - cut a 4 inch x 4 inch square piece from all 4 corners of the blanket.


Step 4 - grab a ruler and cut 4 inch long strips 1 inch wide along all 4 sides.

Step 5 - tie the top printed strip of fleece to the bottom strip of solid fleece in a knot. (do 2 knots) Do this to every other strip around the whole blanket. Then flip it over and tie the remaining strips in knots. This will help the blanket lay nice and flat and the knots lay nicely.
(On the corner pieces, I grabbed the 2 strips from the one side of the corner with the two strips of the other side of the cut out corner and tied them in a knot to make it rounded at each corner. Let me know if this doesn't make sense :)

Your blanket is done!!!!! Here are the 2 I did last night.
