It's summer! And while the weather has been all over the place this summer, we still have quite a few beach days to enjoy. If you really want to shine at the beach this year we have the perfect DIY for you, a simple fringe can make a big difference on this DIY Beach Blanket!
Design Felt for your Beach Blanket
Of course you need some materials for this beach blanket. We used our Designfelt because it is firmer and somewhat thicker than Truefelt and therefore more suitable for the beach. In the video below we used one meter of felt of 3 mm thick Designfelt, in the color 851 Light blue. So first step, choose a color you will fall in love with!:

How it works:
In the following video you will see every step you need to take to make your own DIY beach blanket. Just in case, we've written it out for you too, to make sure you don't miss a single step!
Step one: Cut the macrame ropes to the size you want your fringes to be. Remember to double the rope and tie a knot, so make sure your pieces are long enough (we used about 8 inches).
Step two: Mark the short sides of the felt fabric every 1 inch with the erasable pen (so you can erase again and you won't see any of it!)
Step three: Cut holes in the markings. About 1 cm wide.
Step Four: Use a Larkshead Knot (see video) to tie the string in each hole.
Step five: Repeat on the other short side of the fabric.
And now it's time to enjoy this wonderful beach day!
