Tie Blankets By Hannah:)

This blog post has been written by my 11 year old daughter, Hannah.  This is the craft she did today while having a day off of school.  Seemed appropriate since the reason she was off today was because of the cold!

First you have to go to a fabric store. I went to JoAnn fabrics but you can go anywhere that sells fabric. You want to get 2 yards of a patterned fleece and 2 yards of a solid color fleece. Next you lay out your fleece by having the patterned one on top and the solid one on the bottom. After that you want to cut into the corner about 3 or 4 inches and make a square. Do that to all four corners. Now you are ready to start cutting. You want to cut about the same length of the square you made. The strips should be about an inch wide.

The strips should look like this.

After you have finished cutting one side you need to tie it so nothing gets messed up. How you want to do this is tie it normally but then on the second knot make sure the non-patterned side is facing up. This is to make sure you can see the solid color.

After you have tied one side you go to the other sides and cut and tie. After you have finished that you are done and you can enjoy your warm blanket.
