Tips for making fleece blankets from our kits

Please keep in mind that you are creating a lasting gift for a child in foster care. The blanket you are making may become a child's cherished possession, comforting them for years. Please make your blanket as if it is a gift for someone you know and love.  
Please do this!

Correctly completed fleece blanket
YES!
YES! Fringe cut and knotted so the blanket edges lie flat.
YES! Cut and knot fringe so the edges of the blanket are straight and flat.

Not this!
NO! Don't cut fringe on the side where the tag has been sewn. Follow the sample fringe that have been cut on 2 sides of the fleece. Tie knots about 1/2" from blanket edge to avoid bunching.
Don't cut fringe on the side where the tag is sewn - or the side opposite. Cut only on the 2 sides where sample fringe have been cut.
NO! Our kits have tags pre-attached. When fringe are cut in the correct length and location, you will not cut into the tag.
NO! The selvedges have not been removed from this fleece, resulting in fringe with ragged ends. Cut off the selvedges before you cut fringe. This step is not necessary when you use our fleece kit. We remove the selvedges for you.
Please leave the top line blank. "This Belongs to" is for the child who receives the blanket to enter their name. You sign after "Handmade by."
NO! Do not tie fringe to each other. Tie fringe so that the blanket edge lies flat.

Thank you!


 
SHIPPING OPTIONS - U.S.

FREE SHIPPING - KITS AND TAGS

Tag shipping cost is included in tag price.
 
PREPAID SHIPPING FOR DELIVERY BY A SPECIFIC DATE OR FOR 100+ KITS
​If you need delivery of your kits by a specific date or your order is for more than 100 kits, we ask that you cover the shipping cost by purchasing shipping labels so that we can quickly ship your order directly from our workshop. 

​
HOW IT WORKS
  • Click "Yes, ..." from the “Will you PAY FOR SHIPPING …” drop-down above.
  • Choose "U.S. Shipping for 100+ kits or Delivery by Specific Date" in the Shipping Method box.
  • Complete and submit your order.
  • When we receive your order, we will send you an email with the information you need (address, number of packages, package weight and size) to purchase your shipping label from UPS, FedEx or USPS.
  • Purchase the shipping labels and email them back to us.
  • When we receive your labels, we will ship your order. 

PLEASE NOTE:  At checkout, your order will still default to free shipping; but choosing this option will over-ride the default.

PLEASE NOTE:  At checkout, your order will default to "Canada shipping" at no cost, but you still need to follow the procedure for buying labels outlined above.
