Make Tie Fleece Baby Blankets

These are the materials that I used for my first experiment that was a success:Two pieces of fleece fabric - I chose different color for each piece because I want it to be a two-sides blanket. The colors are entirely your choice. But I can give you one useful advice: don't buy thick fleece, because the cutting process will take forever and can be a very difficult task. Very sharp scissors that you won't need after anymore - fleece is a very tough fabric and it will blunt the scissors. Tape & Paper clips.

Now that you've got everything in hand, it's time to start. First of all, make sure that the two pieces of fleece have the exact same size. Then you have to put them one on top of each other and use the paper clips to hold them together.The next step is cutting the fringes of the blanket. I used to cut them in 4 inch length and 1 inch wide and I think that is a pretty good size. If you are having trouble approximating these figures, you can always use a ruler to measure the length and wide. And also, try to cut the fringes as straight as possible, but that is not always a must.After all four sides of the blanket have fringes, you can start to tie them together (one fringe from each piece of fabric). You will have to be very careful with this step, because it can be pretty difficult to untie two fringes that were tied in a wrong way. Another tip: I used only one knot, but if you don't want the fringes to untie when you wash the blanket, make a double knot.
