It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

Make Someone Their Favorite Snuggly Fleece Blanket-No Sewing!

My son has a blanket that his grandma made for him when he was about 18 months old.  He is almost 7 now and he has slept with this blanket EVERY night since he got it.

I am not kidding you when I say that this blanket has not one hole, not one sign of wear or tear and I have washed it WAY more times than I could count.

These fleece blankets are so fun because you can select the fleece of your choice, any pattern and color.  Fleece comes in so many different options that kids and adults will love.  You get to pick two different fleeces because the back and the front are separate pieces.  (This also makes the blanket extra warm).

I see these mostly with a pattern on the front and a matching solid on the back.  No reason why you couldn’t mix patterns, though, which is something I love to do.  For some reason, I have a penchant to mix florals with plaids.

Watch the video.  You will find that these could NOT be easier to make.  If you know how to use a scissors and how to tie a knot, you have all the skills needed for this DIY.  Enlist the kids to tie knots!

Make a bunch for presents!

And as always, send us your pics and share.
