Hand-crafted baby blankets make a superb present for baby showers or other social occasions,How You Can Make Fleece Baby Blankets Articles but they can as well salvage you a pile of money if they are made for your own infant, peculiarly in the actual economic climate, when the luxury of getting a lot of stuff is not affordable to all of us. I will share you a simple manner to create yourself a fleece baby blanket, and here comes the good part for numerous new moms out there: without needing to master the fine art of sewing.These are the things that I had for my original try out that was a success:- Two pieces of fleece fabric - I opted for different colors for each piece because I needed it to be a two-sides blanket. The colors are totally your decision. But I want to share with you a useful advice: don't purchase strong fleece, because the cutting process is going to take forever and can be a really rough labor.- Really sharp pair of scissors that you will not want after anymore - fleece is a incredibly tough fabric and it will ruin the pair of scissors, some pieces of tape and a couple of paper clips.When you have everything prepared, it's time to go on. First of all, become certain that the 2 pieces of fleece have the same dimension. After that you have to put them one on top of the other and use the paper clips to hold them together.The next move is making the fringes of the blanket. I used to cut them in 4 inch length and 1 inch wide and I consider that is a pretty OK size. If you are getting trouble approximating these sizes, you can at any time use a ruler to approximate the length and wide. And besides that, be sure to make the fringes as even as you can, but that ain't always .Later all 4 sides of the blanket possess fringes. So you can get to tie them together (one fringe from every piece of fabric). You should be very meticulous with this step. One more tip: I used only 1 knot, but if you do not want the fringes to loosen when you will wash the blanket, have a double knot.Go on with this method for the remaining three laterals of the baby blanket.There you go! With a reduced amount of money and without whatsoever hard effort you get your own handmade fleece baby blankets, that are wonderful as a present.
