My Experience With Tying A Tie Blanket
As someone who loves to DIY, I was excited to try my hand at making a tie blanket. However, I quickly realized that I had no idea how to tie a tie blanket. After some research and trial and error, I finally figured it out. In this article, I will share my tips and tricks for tying a tie blanket.
How to Tie a Tie Blanket: Step by Step Guide
Step 1:
Choose your fabric. You will need two pieces of fabric that are the same size. The fabric should also have a similar weight and texture, so they tie together easily.
Step 2:
Lay the two pieces of fabric on top of each other, with the right sides facing each other.
Step 3:
Trim the edges of the fabric so that they are even.
Step 4:
Tie the corners of the fabric together in a knot. This will help keep the fabric in place while you tie the rest of the blanket.
Step 5:
Start tying the fabric together. Take one strand of fabric from the top layer and one from the bottom layer and tie them together in a knot. Continue tying the fabric together until the blanket is complete.
