We are asking our Blanket Angels to help support MVOB by sharing in the cost of creating our special tags for blankets that are not made from blanket kits (quilts, knitted or crocheted blankets, fleece purchased on your own).


You do not need to purchase tags if you are sponsoring fleece blanket kits. A tag, already sewn onto the fleece, is included with each kit.

TIPS FOR SEWING ON TAGS AND MAKING FLEECE BLANKETS
PLEASE DO THIS!
YES!
YES!
YES!
AND THIS!
YES! Cut and knot fringe so the edges of the blanket are straight and flat.
YES! Students cutting fringe using 4"x1" template, not cutting into tag.
YES!
BUT NOT THIS!
NO! Never cut into tag.
NO! Don't tie fringe together. Tie knot in each piece of fringe.
NO! Cut fringe only about 4" long. Never cut the tag.
OR THIS!
NO! When you buy fleece (not our kit), remove selvedges before cutting fringe.
NO! Don't write on top line of tag.
NO! Tie fringe on 2 opposite sides of blanket. If blanket edges don't lie flat, tie knots slightly farther from the edge.

YOU WILL NEED TO SEW YOUR TAGS ONTO THE BLANKETS YOU MAKE

If you have purchased your own fleece, your special tags will need to be SEWN onto the backs of the blankets you make before they are donated.
  • •  Tags cannot be ironed on; doing this will melt the tag's ink onto your iron.

•  We also discourage using glue
 to attach the tags. The glue will melt when the blanket is laundered and placed in a heated dryer.


Do you know how to sew?  Here is a brief video about sewing on a tag.

You don't know how to sew? Ask friends, family, neighbors or co-workers if they have a sewing machine or know how to sew. Often you will find someone who you didn't know had this talent! You can also ask your local sewing or fabric shop to help as well.

What's special about our tags?
Our special tags, attached to the back of each blanket, are very important. We encourage blanket makers to sign their first name on the tag and write a short, encouraging note so the child knows who made the blanket just for them and to give each blanket even more of a personal touch.

When the child writes their name on the tag, it will be easier for others in the foster home to identify the blanket's owner and increase the chances of the blanket staying with the child if they must move between foster homes.

Thank you for this additional support for our mission to provide each child in foster care with a blanket of "their very own," including a tag with their name!
