Ribbon embellished baby blankets
OK, now how simple is this? If you do not own a sewing machine, this is something that with patience, a needle and thread, you could easily accomplish.
This is a (large) square of fabric with a ribbon sewn right down the middle. A bow was knotted in the center and sewn down.
That. is. it.
That is the whole kit and caboodle. Isn’t is sweet? And what an innocent gift, reflecting the innocence of the child you are celebrating.
In fact, you don’t have to limit this to a gift for a baby. Who doesn’t appreciate a nice wrap to snuggle with during a good movie? There are only eleventy billion different ribbons from which to choose just the perfect look that you want for your particular blanket.
If you have a sewing machine, this should take you - oh…what? five minute? from start to finish. That is not a long time investment for a darling looking gift. You could line these up industrial machine style and make a whole slew of them for gifts this year.
In fact, if you watched the price of fleece at your local fabric store, you could wait until there is a 99 cent per yard sale, then use the 50% off coupon (if you can) and really stock up at a crazy low price. You can purchase ribbon from the 10 spools for a $1.00 bins and make bazillions of these. You could hand these out left and right. Make a huge pile of them and start taking them down to your local shelter. At those kind of prices, we could make enough to keep the entire world warm!
