Look what I made!
 

I went to Walmart and bought some fleece yesterday to try and make some blankets with the fringe. I figured it can't be too hard since there is no sewing involved. I made two exactly the same because I bought enough for two. One side is tie-dye and the other is squares. I don't think I did too bad.

Super cute! I love the tie dye.

Love it love it love it! I wouldn't mind doing something like that myself.. I'm making bows now, maybe I'll try a blanket!

Those are cute! How long did they take? Would you be willing to tell us how you made them? :D

Took me about 30 minutes for each. I got the directions ar Walmart in the craft section, the lady at the counter had a printout of them. You can do a google search for "how to make fleece fringe blanket" and they come up ther too.

I love the tie dye one!!! Any plans to make and sell them???

How cute! I love the tie dye one.

How much did the fleece fabric cost you?

Had't really planned on selling them. The fabric was $5.65 a yard and I bought a yard of each. The prices can range I found at Walmart that was about average. I have ordered some from Ebay and it was $4.50 a yard. I am going to make some large ones for my two sons and of course I ordered some more fabrics to make for my fur babys. Once you start making them and get the hang of it , it is addictive. I wish I could make one in every color and print, it really is theraputic. I think I am going to try and make a smaller one for Lilly's carrier. Each blanket I made took 1/2 yard of each fabric, so I may try 1/4 yard for the carrier blankets. I like doing them so well I wouldn't mind selling them but I don't think I could find material reasonable enough to come out ahead in it.

you did a good job..i love the no sew things. they even have iron on velcro now.

Wonderful job!!! Those are so cute you have inspired me to make one as well!! Thanks for such a good tip!!!

Here's the directions to make the blankets, of course if you are making for doggies you would make smaller.

Fleece Throw No Sew Pattern, Step One
Although the throws can be made in any size desired, since most fleeces are sold in approximately 54' widths, the ones I've done are 54" by 54.
Gather supplies
· 1 1/2 yards of patterned fleece
· 1 1/2 yards of coordinating (solid) fleece
· sharp scissors
· large straight pins
· Spread out both pieces of fabric on a large flat surface.
· With right sides facing OUT, smooth fabric out until there are no wrinkles or fabric bunching.
· Pin the two pieces together a few inches from the edges, don't worry if one piece is slightly larger than the other.
Trimming the edges
· Trim off the unsightly selvage edges of the fabric
· Also trim the fabric so that both pieces are the same size,
· After trimming, smooth fabric out again so there is no bunching or wrinkles in the two pieces
Cut a 4" square out of each corner of the fabric.

The size of the fringe depends on your personal preference. The width and length can be adjusted to the look desired. Do a few test "ties" before cutting all the fabric.
This picture shows the reverse side of the throw, with 5" cuts.
· Cut 4" to 5" slits in the fabric, approximately 3/4 to 1" wide
· If a 5" cut provides the desired look, you will have to adjust the 4" corner cut to a 5" corner cut.
· Right side of the throw shown with 5" cuts.


Now the fun part -- tying the fringe.
· Starting at one corner tie the first two pieces of fringe together. Remember you are tying the patterned fleece to the plain fleece.
· Tie with a double knot -- the knot shouldn't be super tight.
· Tie a few fringes in on each corner (which helps keep the fabric straight).
{li]Finish tying the rest of the fringe around the throw.

· The Finished Product!

Very cute. I'm partial to the tie-dyed one (must be the Yogi in me).
