Making a fleece tie blanket is something that anyone can make both young and old. Hopefully by the time you finish reading this article you will know how you can easily make a fleece tie blanket. Making a fleece tie blanket only requires a couple of things, and a bit of time. This makes a great project for a parent and the younger child. It doesn't take very long, and the reward is the fleece tie blanket that the child can actually use or even better giveaway as a gift to the grandparents. As we mentioned, when making a fleece tie blanket, you will only need a couple of things which we will discuss with you shortly.
So, to begin making a fleece tie blanket, you will first need some fleece fabric. Now depending on what you intend to use the fleece tie blanket for, this will dictate on what type of fabric you should purchase. If you are in a cold environment, then you will want to purchase fleece that is heavily weighted; this would keep you the warmest. If you live in a warmer environment and will only use your no tie fleece blanket occasionally. Then you can opt for a lighter weighted fleece.
To begin making a fleece tie blanket, you will need two pieces of fleece fabric. You can either choose to have different colored fleece fabric (different colors often look good.), or you can choose to have the one solid color or perhaps even patterned fleece fabric. Once you have your two pieces of fleece, lay them down on top of each other and make sure that the edges, match up perfectly.
Now, you want to get a tape measure or ruler and start measuring 5 inch stripes about 1 inch apart from all four edges. Alternatively, you can do these measurements on a piece of paper and use this piece of paper as a guide for cutting. So now, you need to cut the strips on all four sides of your fleece fabric so that these could be tied together. Once you have finished cutting all the strips then you need to make a simple overhand knot to tie the two pieces of fabric together. It is a good idea to tie every second strip together around all four sides, and then turn the blanket over and tied the remaining to trips together (this makes the fleece tie blanket look better).
Making a fleece tie blanket, as you can see is very easy. It only requires a couple of tools and a bit of patience. Making a fleece tie blanket with your son, daughter or grandchild is time well spent together and of course, at the end you get the bonus of your fleece tie blanket.
