Our no sew fleece blanket obsession....

Have y'all ever made a no sew fleece tie blanket?  Sooooo super easy!  My teen found the instructions in Seventeen magazine and our obsession with 'em started before Christmas.  I googled and found some instructions here for ya. So far we have made three of these quick and easy projects.  My 17 year old and my 11 year old both made one all by themselves.  When it came time to make the 6 year old one, I had to give a little assistance.  This is him helping out though....
Joanne's had their kits for 50% off after Christmas.  Keep an eye on them if you want to try this one.  I think it is $16 for the kit after the discount.  Plus your kids get the satisfaction of having a blanket that they made all by themselves!  That is priceless!  
The football kit in the picture actually came from Walmart for around $17.  It is intended to be sewn.  But you can use the instructions online with the fleece in those kits as well.  Worked like a charm.

I was looking up the "How To" on these just last week. I thought some toddler ones with matching pillows would be fun, and found all kinds of tuts on them! Now I see your post, too, and cannot wait to try them! I'm so glad you AND your kids are having a blast with them! So cool!

I got that SAME kit from WalMart for my FIL! Only I thought it was an actual blanket and realized as I was wrapping it 15 minutes before we were supposed to leave for the party that it was, in fact, NOT yet a blanket! I never sewed anything so fast in my life! I love that you tied it - so much cuter!
