No-sew fleece blankets

Have you seen these blankets before? They're fantastic!!

I wish I could take credit for them, but they're actually the project of my
9 year old niece, Kaylee. She's so crafty. I see big things in her future!~

And they're very easy to make. No sewing required!

Kaylee gave me step-by-step instructions on how to make them...

1. Buy 2 yards of 2 colors of coordinating fleece.
Spread them out on each other with the right sides facing out.

2. Trim off selvage edge of both pieces so that they're the exact same size.
Then cut a 6" square out of each corner.

3. Start making 6" cuts every inch, all the way around on all 4 sides.
It helps to lay a ruler 6 inches from the edge and just cut to the ruler.

4. Begin tying all strips.

Keeping both fabrics together, loop the tab to the right & then over itself.

Come back through the hole & pull straight down.

They would make great house warming gifts or baby blankets.
(For kids' blankets, Kaylee used 1.5 yards instead of 2.

So cute & cozy!
Thanks Kaylee for our wonderful blankets
and for teaching us how to make them!

    3. Just remember you cannot use a rotary cutter on cardboard. You will not only ruin a perfectly good cardboard but chances are you will also likely ruin a perfectly good blade.

    1. Basic maths. Start with 2 yards (36" each so 72") cuts on each side 6" so 72" - 12" = 60" or 5 feet square

    1. sorry for no response... we have taken a hiatus from this blog and Tiffany probably doesn't get the notifications anymore. My suggestion would be Hobby Lobby or Joanns since those are the only fabric store options we have in town. But that was 2 years ago so there's no guarantee it's still there if so.

  8. if you loop the tab to the left & then over itself. you will end up with the back fleece color showing on the top, and the top fleece showing on the back... gives a bit of contrast, especially if you are using a solid color for the back....

  9. We are planning on making these blankets during our summer camp session for mothers and children in shelters in New York. Do we have your permission to use the image of the tie blanket for our blog and flyer to communicate this activity?

  12. I put painters tape on my fabric when cutting it (measure and stick to the line you want to cut too.) This way the ruler moves or I need to move the fabric I don't have to worry one cut is too long or short

  13. Love this idea for the edge can't wait to try it. I have been knotting blankets for years but this looks likes an interesting twist. Like the advice about putting the opposite on top. Great job

    Blankets can be used in homes, hotels, hospitals and outdoor areas. For the family, you may need a thick and soft layer. For hotels and hospitals, you may not need to be very thick, but need economic and simple colors. Outdoor blankets need to be waterproof.
    The blanket is made of cotton, polyester, acrylic acid and some mixed materials such as polyester / cotton, and the most economical one is polyester wool blanket.

  32. I remember making one of these blankets for my daughter a few years back, and it was such a rewarding experience. The joy she expressed when wrapping herself in it during chilly nights was priceless! It became her go-to comfort item, and the fact that it was made with love made it even more special.

  33. Let’s understand Extended Producer Responsibility:
    Extended Producers Responsibility means the responsibilities of Producers for the environmentally sound management of the product until the end of its life. Extended Producer Responsibility for Plastic Packaging is the responsibility of Producers, Importers & Brand Owners for the management of their plastic packaging waste. EPR Registration for Plastic Waste Management
    The Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change, Government of India, notified an amendment to the PWM Rules on February 16, 2022, according to which producers, importers, brand owners (PIBOs), and Plastic Waste Processors shall comply with Extended Producer Responsibility as per Guidelines given in Schedule II of PWM Rules.
