Tie It Up
- Line up your two pieces of fleece and pin them together. It is often easy to start with the middle of the blanket and move outward. You will need to stop 3 to 4 inches from the edges.
- Your best bet for making a great blanket is to mark out your strips. You can use a fabric marker or a pencil if you are using the right color of fleece.
- Once you have cut the pieces of fleece to size you will want to cut stripes all along each edge of the fleece. The cuts should be about 3-4 inches into the blanket. How wide you make them is up to you and can range from 1/4 of an inch to 1 inch. Make sure that each strip is being cut into both pieces of flannel.
- Now carefully tie each piece of fringe from the back panel to a piece of fringe on the front panel. Work your way around the entire piece. It is a good idea to tie them twice for a good strong knot.
- To finish the blanket you will want to take thread or yarn and tack the two layers together. If using yarn you can leave these fringe style on one side of the blanket for added interest. Thread can be used by looping it through the two layers a couple of times and then tying it off. Another option is to use thin strips of fleece to tie the two layers together. This gives a great "finished" look about the piece.

Dream Catcher
Make a Dream Catcher for Kids
Supplies to get started:
1. Begin by cutting in the center of the paper plate. Leave a rim of 2 inches all around the paper plate
2. Take your hole punch and punch hole in the rim of the paper plate, about ½ inch apart each.
3. Measure out your yarn 5-6 ft long. Tie one end of the yarn to any one of the holes on the rim of the paper plate.
4. Weave the yarn up, over, and all around the paper plate from one hole to the next one. You can make your pattern any way you like. Make sure to loop through each of the punched holes.
5. You can add the craft beads to the middle of the dream catcher with the yarn as you go through the holes. Simply slip them onto the yarn and continue with the next hole. They will appear to be in the middle of the dream catcher.6. Once all of the holes are threaded with the yarn, tie a knot at the end of the yarn with the plate and the last hole.
7. Now, take your hole punch and punch 3 more holes in the paper plate at the bottom of the plate.
8. Cut 3 more pieces of yarn, about 5 inches long each.
