Have you been wishing for a new blanket to have when you curl up with a good book or on the sofa while watching TV? Our favorite blankets are of the DIY variety, as a homemade blanket not only looks great but often feels better than those you buy in stores because you get to pick out the softest fabrics and yarn yourself. We found 24 cool DIY blankets and throws to make so you can keep warm this winter, plus if you are looking for some awesome DIY Christmas gift ideas, you need look no further than here. Last year, I made 8 blankets for friends and family, along with quite a few other things, but the blankets are what got the most thank you’s. From easy throw blankets to impressive oversized throws made with pom poms, paint and all sort of cute things, your blanket dreams are about to come true. Check out the step by step tutorials to learn how to make these, then add a few to your home, plus make a few more for gifts!

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
