Do-it-yourself fleece or flannel blankets are very easy to make. For some, you don’t need a sewing machine or a thread with a needle.
1. Flannel blanket with fringe: a master class
This plaid is made very simple, and the result is excellent. The main thing is to choose the fabric that you like. The manufacturing process will take no more than half an hour.

Step 1
Cut the part to the desired length and width. Trim the edges of the fabric, cut the edges.
Step 2
Unfold the threads on each of the 4 sides of the plaid to create a fringe. First, you can do this with your hands, then the spreader will help.
Step 3
Stop when you get a fringe of the right length. You can also twist fringe strings into flagella if you wish. Done!

2. Wide fringed plaid: master class
Such a plaid can be made of flannel or fleece. In the case of fleece, the fringe edges will not crumble. Fringe on such a flannel blanket turns out to be "shaggy."
You will need:
- flannel or fleece (a cut equal in size to the size of the proposed plaid);
- scissors.
Step 1
Cut the plaid fabric evenly.You can focus on the geometric pattern, if the fabric is plain or with an abstract pattern, it is better to use a ruler and crayon first.
Step 2
Now cut the fringe stripes. If necessary, draw a line before which you will make cuts. Make a fringe on two or four sides (in the second case, corners should be cut at the corners).
P. S. And you can also make the fringe longer and tie it into knots.

3. Two fleece blankets with braid: a master class
For such rugs, the main thing is to choose a beautiful braid for decoration. The rest is easy to do!
You will need:
- fleece (a cut the size of the size of the future plaid);
- braid for decoration (the length is approximately equal to the perimeter of the plaid);
- ruler, pencil / crayon for fabric, something round like a plate to round corners;
- sewing machine and thread.
Step 1
Decide on the length and width of the plaid and cut the corresponding rectangle or square from the fleece. Fold the fleece four times. To the free corners, attach something round like a plate, which can serve as a template for rounding the corners. Draw a smooth line and trim the corners.
Step 2
Zigzag the tape around the perimeter of the plaid. Done!
P. S. By the way, such rugs can be made from flannel or other cozy material.

6. Another two-layer plaid: master class
This option is similar to the previous one, but the way of “attaching” the plaid layers to each other is different.

Step 3
Using a cardboard square as a template, cut out the corners.
Step 4
Cut the same fringe strips along all four sides. Make them wider.

Wrap the fringe and make a small cut in the middle of each strip.
