Supplies Needed:
-Spare Fabric (I used 18x30in. Minkee)
-Ribbon Spools
-Scissors
-Ruler
That's it!
I purchased two different minkee quilters quarters. (size 18
x 30 inches), You could also just use and same sized spare fabric. For the “tag”
part of the blanket I used coordinating ribbon spools.
Step 1: Place the fabric together with the soft size facing
outwards and place on the ground or table. (doesn’t matter which side is up)
Step 2: Cut out a square shape at each corner a couple inches
in size(cutting through both pieces of fabric)
Step 3: For your ties, you will need to cut a couple of inch
pieces straight up, one right after the other.
Step 4: Double knot the two pieces together, until all the
pieces are ties along the long side.
Step 5: Next you will need to get your ribbon out and cut
them into 10 inch pieces.
Step 6: Now you will want to plan/lay out the ribbon in the
order you’d like them to look in the end. Now this next part is kind of
confusing, so hopefully I can make some sense of myself. On the short sides of
your fabric is where you will be putting your ribbon in. You are going to want
to tie them the same as the knots on the long sides. Except after you do your
first knot slip the ribbon piece through. Then tie your second knot (completing
one double knot). Once you complete the double knot, tie the ribbon in a knot
around it and pull tight.
FINISHED PRODUCT:
Hopefully that wasn’t too confusing. I really like how this
blanket turned out, and Adeline just loves it. She enjoys looking at the
different color ribbon and also pulling on them, well mostly chewing on them…but
there isn’t much she’s not chewing on these days!
It’s also perfect for her size (5-6months),
especially during summer. It’s not too big and bulky, but still cuddly and can
cover her. I hope this is a fun project for you!
Happy Tuesday,
