How to Add a Ruffle Edge to Blankets

Adding a ruffle edge to a blanket is a simple and easy way to give it a decorative touch. Here are the steps to add a ruffle edge to blankets:

Materials: - Blanket - Fabric for ruffle edge - Sewing machine or needle and thread - Scissors - Pins

Instructions:

1. Choose the fabric for your ruffle edge. You can use a matching or contrasting fabric, depending on the look you want to achieve. Cut a strip of fabric that is 4-5 inches wide and long enough to go around the entire perimeter of your blanket.

2. Fold the fabric strip in half lengthwise, with the right sides facing each other. Pin along the raw edge.

3. Using a sewing machine or needle and thread, sew along the pinned edge, leaving a 1/4-inch seam allowance. Leave a 2-inch opening at the end.

4. Turn the fabric strip right side out through the opening. Press the seam flat with an iron.

5. Pin the ruffle edge to the blanket, with the raw edge of the ruffle aligned with the edge of the blanket. Pin all around the blanket, adjusting the ruffle as necessary to make it fit evenly.

6. Using a sewing machine or needle and thread, sew the ruffle edge to the blanket, sewing as close to the raw edge of the ruffle as possible. When you reach the end, overlap the two ends of the ruffle and sew them together to create a seamless look.

7. Trim any loose threads and enjoy your new ruffled blanket!

Adding a ruffle edge to a blanket is a simple and quick way to give it a personalized touch. With a little bit of fabric and some basic sewing skills, you can create a beautiful ruffled blanket that is sure to be a cozy and stylish addition to any room.
