Supplies
1.5yardsof printed fleece
1.5yardssolid color fleece
Sharp scissors
Ruler or a piece of cardboard cut into a 4-inch square
Instructions
Place solid fabric on the work surface then place patterned fleece directly on top, making sure all edges are lined up.
If needed, trim any edges with scissors to ensure everything lines up neatly.
Use a ruler or measuring tape to measure and cut a 4-inch square from each corner of the fleece, cutting through both the patterned and solid fabrics. Alternatively, you can use a 4-inch square piece of cardboard or paper as a template and cut around it.
Next cut 4-inch long by 1.5-inch wide strips along all four sides of the fleece, cutting through both fabrics.
Take each strip and fold it up, placing them onto the top of the fabric.
Cut a small slit into each strip, again cutting through both pieces of fabric.
Insert the ends of the strip and gently pull through the slit. Be sure to pull the strips through snug (but be gentle as fleece stretches easily). This will make them lay flat, hence no knots!
