Making a blanket

Make a blanket on a budget! A blanket is always a nice gift to give… give the gift of warmth this winter! It is also something nice to make for your self. Here is how to make a blanket on a budget:

Go to: Joann.com and sign up to receive their flier by mail and emails. You will receive coupons from both! Clip out or print off a 40% off one regular price item coupon and purchase your fabric for the blanket with it.

For the blanket in the picture:

  • 2 yards of fabric
  • 1 roll of thread, matching to fabric
  • Pins
  • Sewing machine

Pin back about ½ inch of fabric all around the blanket and then sew it with your sewing machine.

It’s simple, yet a thoughtful gift to give.

    Nice! You can also use that fuzzy material and just cut fringe on the edge. Great idea!
