DIY: Red, White & Blue Picnic Blanket

Easy DIY Project: How to Make a Double-Sided Picnic Blanket.

[youtube url=”https://youtu.be/KjiOUODWIHA”]

First, find two pieces of fabric with the colors, designs, and textures that you want to have for the occassion.

Tools you’ll need:
– Two pieces of fabric that are measured and cut to be even along the edges.

– Scissors.


– Bored kids.


Step One:
Two coordinating pieces of fabric are married together along the edges to make one perfectly even layer. 

Step Two:
Next cut slits along the edge, almost like a fringe – about 3 inches deep all the way around the fabric. Just make sure you cut deep enough so that you can tie the pieces together. If the slits are too short, you won’t be able to double knot them.


Step Three:

Tie the matching top and bottom slits together into double knots. It helps them to say together after washing.


Step Four:

Finish it up bt tying them all the way around the fabric until your blanket is complete!


Step Five: 

Live a little use your new blanket! Life’s short, stay cozy!
