Make a No-Sew Throw for Halloween or Anytime!


It's So Easy to Make this Craft... it's Spooky!

Two simple polar fleece panels come together without a single stitch to create a cuddly throw perfect for crisp fall weather -- and scary stories! This is a great family craft project. Anyone who can tie a knot can join in!

See our easy no-sew pillow decorating project idea, too!

But it's not just for Halloween. With the great variety of polar fleece patterns and preprinted panels available, you can make this fun craft project for just about any occasion, from Christmas to baby showers. It's quick, easy and really impressive -- even for the most craft-challenged among us!

Materials:
2 Polar fleece panels cut to the same size, we chose 2 complementary patterns with spooky jack-o'-lanterns (from Jo-Ann's Fabrics and Crafts)
Scissors or Pinking Shears
Rotary fabric cutter (optional)
Cutting pad (optional)
Ruler

Step 1
Cut the two panels to the same size, allowing in your design 4" all around for cutting 4" fringes. We cut the panels to size using pinking shears to get a jagged edge.
Note:
Polar fleece stretches one way and not the other, make sure both panels stretch along the same length when cutting.

Step 2
Align the two panels together, back to back, and cut fringes down one side, through both fabric thicknesses. We used a rotary cutter, but scissors are fine, too. We cut fringe 4" long and the width of our ruler (1-1/4"). Fringe cut to about 1" to 1.5" in width works best for this craft project.
Note:
When you get to the corners, you will cut the corner square completely out.

Step 3
Starting on one end of the cut fringe, tie together one front fringe with one back fringe, tightening the knot so it holds the front an back panel securely together.
A square knot works best, and tie them all in the same direction (right over left, left over right) for a consistent finish. Continue tying knots down the full side.

Step 4

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 on the other three sides until complete... and curl up and enjoy!
