Step 1: Buy some fleece material and cut it into a 24-inch square. You’ll need two pieces to make one blanket. (Keep in mind that the size doesn’t need to be exact.)
Step 2: Make 4-inch cuts along the perimeter of the fleece, perpendicular to the edge. At each corner you’ll end up cutting out a 4-inch square. You can cut the two pieces of fleece at one time, or separately, but make sure they have the exact same number of cuts along the sides.
Step 3: Lay the two pieces together and tie one strip (made by the 4-inch cuts) from each piece of material together. This effectively “sews” the two pieces together and makes a thick, soft blanket.
Step 4: Relax. The animals will love the softness and feel the love in every tie. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect!
Send your blankets to Comfort for Critters, take a family trip to your local shelter and personally drop your blanket off to an animal awaiting adoption, or mail it to a shelter near you. For a list of shelters, visit the Comfort for Critters website.
