If you are still out hitting those after Christmas sales, here is something to look for...fleece blankets. I bought one last year on sale for $3.99 and was able to transform it into eight scarves. Do the math...that is only 50 cents a scarf! I gave them to my co-workers accompanied by another small gift.
Here is the striped blanket I started with. I also bought a really cute red plaid fleece blanket last year, pictured in the photo above. It still looks good after a year of wear.

I used a cutting mat and a rotary cutter from my quilting supplies. Of course, old fashioned scissors would work perfectly too. I cut them into about 6" strips.
I then cut the ends about 5" up in small strips. I left the fray of the blanket stitch on the bottom for character.
Now go out and find some cheap and adorable fleece blankets to transform. I would love to see your pictures when you are done.

What an awesome idea! I've seen some that looked similar before, but never thought of doing it with a blanket. And getting it on sale.... Score!

Have a fantastic day! I LOVE checking out your stuff. Especially the party ideas. I am a tad bit obsessed with parties...
What a great repurposing project! So smart.
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity. After reading your post on the handwarmers, I thought that it would be great to make a pair of coordinating handwarmers for one of your simple fleece scarves. Doubly fun!
