Binki No Sew Blanket - Slumber Party Craft Activity

When you were a little young toddler Diva did you have a binki blanket also known as your lifeline to dreamland? You know the blanket I’m talking about. It is frayed at the edges and has holes in it and at one point in your life you were unable to even think about sleeping with out it. Well if you are still dependent on your special blanket, it’s time to get rid of it and make a new one. If you have long since put your blanket on the top shelf of the closet, bring back those good old days with this Slumber Party No Sew Blanket. 

Your slumber party girls will absolutely love this fun craft and treasure their special blanket. You will need to do some pre-work before the girls get started on the project.

First take a trip to your local super store or fabric craft store and take a walk through the fleece fabric selection. You will want to look for two types of fleece; one in a fun and sassy print and the other in a coordinating color solid. Have the store assistant cut you 1 yard of each type of fleece for each girl at your party. 

When you get home lay the two pieces together on a table or even on the floor. You may need to trim the edges to make sure that the two pieces are exactly the same size. Now that this is done, cut out the corners of the blanket by cutting strait down the material and not strait across. Now turn the radio on or your favorite television show and get ready for just a bit of busy work. You will now need to make two inch cuts about 1 inch apart. This does not have to be perfect by any means just try and keep the cuts equal width and equal length. Round up a handful of safely clips and clip at all four corners keeping the two pieces of fleece together. 

The night of the big slumber party when the girls are in the mood to gab or even watch a movie, pull out the blankets and let the girls finish the project. This is best done with the girls sitting on the floor. Lay each pre-cut blanket out in front of each girl.  Have each girl grab a strip from the bottom fleece and a strip from the top fleece and tie into a knot.  Now, have them tie in another knot. Have the girls tie the two knots all the way around the blanket and whallll–la…. a new binky for each girl to snuggle with.
