Description : I searched for the cheapest
price for fleece and i found it at Walmart. I had
sign ups to make blankets and advertised "to
keep you warm" because since we just got a HUGE
snow storm our building is even colder! Plus they
are great Christmas gifts. I had 20+ people sign up
which was great for our building of almost all Junior
and Seniors. When they signed up i had them write
down their favorite colors. I could only take the
first 20 people and i went to walmart to get the fleece.
The only bad thing was the fleece is expensive and
came to $400.00 for enough for 20 people.
Instructions:
- Price fleece...$4.00/yd is good!
- Get two yards of a solid color and two yards
of a print.
- Lay the fleece down so the side you want to see
is at the bottom and put the other piece of fleece
on top with the side you want to see facing the
top.
- Now you have to square the fleece. So cut out
5 inch squares on each of the 4 sides of the fleece.
(see diagram attachment)
- Cut two inch strips going 5inches into the material
around the WHOLE blanket (through both pieces of
material)(see diagram attachment)
- Tie both pieces together to make knots! Ta da!
you have a nice thick blanket to keep you warm..
- While everyone is working serve hot chocolate
and popcorn and put on a christmas movie (the grinch)
to watch! :)
Considerations : Make sure you have a large
area because the blankets are nice and big! Find out
if Walmart will donate materials to you, you will
have to fill out paper work a month in advance.
It's really easy and they come out great! :) the
