No Technology Required

It's that time of year again.  I am starting to think about Christmas gifts for my class.  The past few years I have made personalized scarves.  They always love them. 
Here is how I do it.....
I found the blankets at Walmart for $2.50 each.  They vary in patterns and designs. If you are careful when you unroll it, it is probably folded so that if you cut it on the sides/folds it will make 6 long strips.  I just “eyeballed” it and cut.  I don’t know what the measurements are, it’s more fun to “WING IT”!! :)



Then, cut the edges off.  The edges that have the thread on it. You can unravel the thread first, before cutting. Sometimes I was able to find the right spot and cut the thread so that it would unravel.Then, I cut the slits on the ends, to make the fringe.  I didn’t measure it, just “eyeballed” it and made them as long as I needed to make a knot.



Then, tie the knot.  I stretched them out a little so they would lay nicely.



I will put their names on them.  Last year, I used glitter paint.  This year I plan to use my Cricut machine and use HTV (Heat transfer vinyl).   THIS PART REQUIRES TECHNOLOGY!
