Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 yards of fabric - I made one in both microfiber and terrycloth. Just make sure its absorbent.
  • 5 yards pom pom trim
  • 6 yards of double fold bias tape
  • Fabric Glue

Instructions

  • Fold your material in half and then in half again. Using a pencil, draw a curved line from one corner edge to the other corner edge. Using your scissors, cut along the line. This should create a large circle in your fabric.

  • From there, it's time to attach the bias tape. Unfold the tape in the middle, and run a thin line of glue along one side of the bias tape and then attach it to one side of the edge of the circle fabric. Continue to glue along the edge making sure the end of the fabric is towards the middle fold of the bias tape.

  • Once you have glued one side of the bias tape onto the fabric, run the glue along the other side of the fabric and the bias tape to secure the other side of the blanket.

  • Once the bias tape is dried and secured, then it's time to add the trim. I love the look of this colorful trim with the mini pom poms. You will add the trim along one side of the bias tape using the fabric glue.

  • And once that dries my friends... you are done. Not a terribly complicated DIY, but it just a little time waiting on the fabric glue to dry.
