INSTRUCTIONS
Spread out your fleece and pay another layer on top of it. Lay batting on top. Pin three of borders together. Make sure to pin through all the layers and sew the three borders.
Flip inside out.
Perpendicular to the unsewn border, sew lines from one end of the fabric to the other. Space the lines a couple of inches apart.
Weigh out 5%-20% of your body weight in plastic pellets. Pour a little bit at a time into each section of the blanket. Lift the blanket to get the pellets far into the blanket as possible. Pin that section and sew to close it up. Repeat each section until the blanket is complete. Keep in mind the plastics pellets are evenly distributed throughout the blanket.
Trim any loose ends and enjoy!
