Instructions

    • 1

      Finding fleece in a pattern you like and then choose a contrasting color of fleece. You can also use two solid colors. Purchase at least two yards of each color of fleece.

    • 2

      Open the two pieces of fleece and match them at the corners. If necessary, use straight pins to tack the two pieces of fleece together.

    • 3

      Measure and mark ½-inch wide strips around the outside edge of the fleece. This will be how wide your tie strips will be.

    • 4

      Now measure and mark about 3 inches in from the outside. Do this to all four sides.

    • 5

      Use your scissors to cut strips ½ inch apart 3 inches deep. Keep cutting until there is a fringe all the way around the outside edge of the fleece.

    • 6

      Tie the two pieces of fleece together using a simple overhand knot to secure the ends.
