Fleece Crafts For The Whole Family

When we think of fleece, the first thing that comes to many of our minds is cozy wintertime softness, however, there are so many other ways to use it in our lives. Crafting is an activity open to all ages and all skill levels, and fleece is a wonderful medium to use. Consider trying out some of these fun creations to expand your hands-on repertoire and get crafty with this type of fabric.

Blankets

Blankets made of fleece fabric are a fan favorite. Whether you’re looking for a warm, but breathable material or if you are looking for an added layer of warmth, fleece is a wonderful material to work with when creating blankets. This very comfortable product can be sewn with a sewing machine or secured as a tassel blanket where the ends are tied together that does not require any stitching. For the blanket that does not require sewing, you can bring in kiddos to give you a hand. Regardless of your level of ability, you can create a soft, functional and beautiful staple of comfort.

Products For Pets

Pets are another possible recipient for crafts using your fleece fabric. Whether you are looking to make a cozy bed for comfort or toys to play with, there are numerous possibilities for your crafty inspirations. For those who have ever fought their pet for the couch or bed or just would like a comfy place for their four-legged family member to lay their head, creating a bed from fleece can give your furry friend a place to rest. If you lack a sewing machine or do not have enough material for a bed, a no-sew toy may be more up your alley, as this can be made from the scraps and leftover material that you have lying around. While not much fleece is needed to create the no-sew toys, it is important to avoid having your pets consume string, as this can cause potentially serious digestive issues. Our furry family members will benefit from these functional and cozy craft products, but be careful of how you construct this to avoid potential concern.

Fleece For Children

Children are another group that can greatly benefit from fleece crafts. The options can feel endless, as you can create bibs, toys, cold weather gear and so much more from this versatile material. A typical use of this material is during the colder months of the year for warmth and to add a cozy layer. For those who are a bit more skilled with fabric that are looking to try DIY fleece crafts, creating ear warmers, bibs for babies, slippers, hats and heating pads may be a fun undertaking. For those who may need to start smaller or who will not be using a sewing machine, no-sew activities for children like shawls can be a great start that feels less intimidating. This material is not limited to clothing, as this can sometimes require quite a lot. If you are looking to not waste remaining fabric, you can try projects that utilize what is left, such as children’s toys from leftover fleece fabric. Whether you want to create a full fleece wardrobe or a few toy pieces from leftovers, there are fun projects out there for everyone.

Home Décor

Sprucing up your home with a fleece fabric project can be another entertaining crafting activity. Often the most obvious craft you can make a blanket, but you could also consider adding touches of fleece throughout your home, particularly in the colder month to add an additional layer of comfort and sense of warmth. Whether you are looking for throw pillows, floor mats for a playroom, or decorations for your home, it can also be woven throughout your home’s décor. Consider intertwining this with your current décor to provide different textures and feels around the cozier areas of your home.

If you do not own a sewing machine, don’t fret. Fleece fabric has wondrous capabilities with or without a sewing machine where you can embrace projects for the whole family. Consider how you’ll integrate fleece fabric to wrap your life in comfort, warmth and relaxation.
