Homemade Quilts w/ hearts

The material used in this video (affiliate):
Choices of heart material: amzn.to/2AcU1PM
Different fleece material choices: amzn.to/2xQs2no
Homemade quilt that is inexpensive and very easy to make. Two pieces of fleece 2 yards long, braided the edges. See link below to search for material that may suit your needs. I turned this into a birthday present that was a big hit. This one I used heart print because my girlfriend loves anything with hearts. You could use camo print for your son or husband. Male or female can make or receive this. Just how creative you wanna be??

I love your tip on using the homemade “threader”, I learned the most from your tutorial! Such a genius idea! Thank you. My blanket turned out beautifully for my baby girl!

[@Loveskymoon.98]

This is a cute and a very great idea! And respect to the fact that you made this for her!

[@Homemadeidea]

Thank you very much! She really liked it! Thanks for checking out my video and taking the time to comment. Have a great day!

[@amayama226]

Awesome, I love the boarder! Fantastic for craft for small ones. Thank you for sharing

[@Homemadeidea]

Thanks, glad you like it! You are welcome, I was happy to share and help others. I'm about to make another one for my Granddaughter. Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment! Have a great day!!

[@amyjonescyr]

I love how youndid this for your girlfriend! Thumbs up!

[@Mrs_Mendoza]

thats a really nice blanket... you are too sweet making that for your girlfriend awe!!!

[@Homemadeidea]

Aaa .. I can quit wrenching and welding long enough to make something soft and fluffy .. LOL. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for checking out my video! Have a great day! :-)

[@greytala]

I have watched a LOT of videos to learn how to do the braided edge and your was by far the best and explained very well. Thank you for taking the time to post this video.

[@Homemadeidea]

greytala Thanks, glad you like it and found it helpful :-) Thinking of making another for my Grandmother for Christmas. She is in her early 80's and still gets excited watching Kentucky Wildcats Basketball. I ran across some Wildcats fleece the other day and thought ... hmmm time to make another one. Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment! Have a great day!!

[@greytala]

I have an idea that would be great for your grandma. I have started putting pockets on my blankets so you can fold it up into a pillow. It can be used as a pillow or a blanket with a pocket to put her feet in to keep them cozy. I made one for my grandmothers birthday this year to celebrate her 103rd birthday and she loves the pocket! If you want to know how to do it, please email me at [e-mail]. You can also see my blankets on Facebook.

[@sherryanimallover7506]

You sure are proud of that blanket and you should be . That turned out beautiful who would not be happy to get that as a gift !!! You are also a very good at explaining your creation . I really enjoyed this video may a blessing fall your way for being so kind and caring .May God Bless you always and PEACE !!!

[@Homemadeidea]

+Sherry Animal Lover Sorry for the long time to reply. KZbin messaging never notified me of you leaving this. It was rather fun to make. Different change of pace from building cars and motorcycles :-). Thank you very much for your kind words and may God bless you with great happiness! Glad you like d the video .. PEACE :-) !!

[@janebarton820]

What a great tutorial! I usually make the tie blankets, but I can't wait to try the braid version. Thank you for taking the time to make such an easy to follow video. I love the idea that I will gain so much more blanket with this version. Have a good day!

[@Homemadeidea]

You are very welcome! I've seen the tie blankets many times. I did the braid and it came out to be a bit larger. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for leaving a great comment! Have a great day!

[@brendapanther6847]

I don't know why I was surprised to hear a guys voice!! Awesome

[@Homemadeidea]

LOL .. it's cool. I can do more than bust my knuckles on Jeeps and Motorcycles. Glad you like it! I've got the material ordered to make a Kentucky Wildcats one for my Grandmother. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Have a great day!!

[@brendapanther6847]

Well you did a great job and most guys don't even take the time. So your welcome😊

[@petmomful2260]

That braided edge is really nice. I have never seen one like that. I love it. Thanks for sharing it.

[@Homemadeidea]

Marguerite Farrell You are welcome, happy too share! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great comment. Thanks and have a great day!!

[@vane12685]

That braid looks much easier and sturdier than others I've seen! Thanks for posting!

[@Homemadeidea]

You are welcome :-). This braid can't become untied like I've seen the "tie the tassels" version. Thanks for taking the time to comment, have a great day! :-)

[@TheSunshine216]

I'm so happy I found this video! I like the edges of this so much more than tassels. You were very helpful. Thank you!

[@Homemadeidea]

You are welcome :-). I'm happy you like and found the video helpful. I agree, I too liked the edge better than the tassels. Even though it takes lots more time, It's much more unique and artistic. Thanks for the great comments! Have a great day! :-)

[@MostestMeri]

I made this quilt oversized for my daughter for Valentine's Day 2013 and I used a Topsy Tail for the braiding part to make it flow a little easier. Great teaching video. I referred to it often. Whole process took me about three hours and it washes so well and is so durable!!!

[@Homemadeidea]

Glad you like it and thanks for using it as a reference video. I reckon that means I did good :-) . I've got the material to make another for my Grandmother. She a Kentucky Wildcats basketball fan, so I got Wildcats fleece. I know someone who made the "knotted tassels" one, it kept coming untied. With this braid, there is no way for it to come undone. Thanks for checking out the video and taking the time to leave a great comment! Have a great day!

[@pamelabrady2397]

Wow love the braided edge!! Thanks for a great job and explaining!! I will so be trying this edge!

[@Homemadeidea]

Pamela Brady Thanks, glad you liked it :-). It's a bit time consuming but it's a very sturdy and artistic edge. But it's easy and the best I can sew is a button. So, it worked out pretty good. Thanks for taking the time time to leave a comment. Have a great day!

[@yliberal6355]

That is an excellent idea as well as a great gift. She's gonna luv it!!!

[@Homemadeidea]

Thanks! Have a great day!

[@sweetpotatoebb]

This blanket looks absolutely lovely, I'm making one for my boyfriend for Christmas and I can't wait to try this method out!

[@Homemadeidea]

Thanks, glad you like it! I'm sure he will enjoy it very much! The good thing about this style is, once its complete, it stays tied. Thanks for checking out the video and taking the time to leave a great comment! Have a great day!!

[@oceansick]

Lovely blanket. Thank you for sharing it.

[@farzanaainsworth5071]

Thank you, it's encouraging to see you do this project, it really looks very nice. I have twins grand daughters, I'm surely going to make it for them, for their Easter bunny gift with bunny rabbits fleece blankets. They are only twenty six months,and loves snuggling in blankets. Just for no reason. I send you a picture once it's done, and I'll tell you how it went.

[@ronjepsen8995]

Thank you so very much. Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Great tutorial!

[@Homemadeidea]

+ron jepsen You're welcome! Thanks glad you like the video. Sorry for the long time to reply. KZbin messaging never notified me of you leaving this. Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment. Have a great day!

[@jessa3142]

I'm making a friend a blanket whos going through chemo and was going to tie them but i love this so much better ( blanket stays nice and big) I cant wait to try this out on it :)

[@andreaclouse8000]

Jessica I my make me one before I go back to chemo. doctor. to see if I have any more cancer in me.

[@melmeldoll5905]

Now that right there is awesome. Good work I'm heaving my first girl in 22 days an I'm making her a blanket couldn't figure out how I wanted to tie the ends or braid them. After seeing your video I now know how I want to do it thank you so much. You did great.

[@Homemadeidea]

Congratulations on your baby girl! Thank you :-) Glad my video helped you make a decision of what style you wanted. The braided edge makes a larger blanket and in my opinion, a much more stylish edge. As a bonus, it doesn't become unties when washed. Again, congratulations, hope all goes well with your baby girl! Thanks for taking the time to leave an awesome comment!! Have a great day!!

[@MusicLover27513]

Wow that's really nice! I like this A LOT better than the knot one! Gonna make one either later today or tomorrow! Thanks for the video!

[@susandauer7911]

Thank you for the great explanation for us non-crafty peeps. Going to try this today as I have a smaller fleece material.

[@Homemadeidea]

susan dauer You are welcome. I'm sure it will turn out great! Have fun and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Have a great day!!

[@LolaBreakHEARTS]

thanks so much for this tutorial I just made mine in under 3 hrs cutting was the most time consuming. I also noticed the larger I cut the holes the flatter the straps laid and it was also easier to pull pieces thru. thanks so much I love it!

[@Homemadeidea]

+LaJean Wilder Yea .. the cutting seems to take forever its so repetitive. It's really a more sturdy yet artistic approach to doing the edges. I know someone who did the "cut and tie the tassels", it kept coming untied in the wash. That cant happen with the braid. Glad you liked the video and thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment! Have a great day!

[@dorawiesner2648]

Love the way you explained the Braiding. Thank you so much!

[@Homemadeidea]

You are welcome! Glad you liked it. Thanks for leaving a great comment and have a great day!

[@amberloon5980]

this is cute and i like that its different from the other how to make a fleece blankets

[@Homemadeidea]

Amber Hulsey Thanks glad you like it! I'm thinking of doing another for my Grandmother. She is a Kentucky Wildcats basketball fan. I found some Wildcat fleece .. so make my her day :-) Thanks for checking out my video and taking the time to leave a great comment! Have a great day!

[@Homemadeidea]

Just 2 months ago I post the 10,000 view "Thank You". Here it is now at 20,000 plus view. And again, I would like to say ...Thanks Everyone!!

alex That was one of my first few videos I uploaded to KZbin. Didnt expect it to do as well as it does. Im glad there are lots a quilts being made :-) Thanks for dropping in! Have a great day!

[@judydavis2404]

How much fleece did you use on each side?

[@jackiekennington6569]

I think you are awesome--the blanket is beautiful and now I will check out your website my hubby used to drag race--We are getting another new granddaughter and this is what I will make for her YEAH!!

[@Homemadeidea]

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. I've took the website a totally different direction since I released this video. I've turned it into a completely food related site. But, my car website it www.poweraddicts.com. It's got some things, but it's still kinda under construction. Also I have a KZbin channel that called PowerAddicts. It's got some videos of Jeep fix it stuff. Thanks for checking out my videos and huge congrats on the new granddaughter :-)

[@lavenderdragonx]

I love this!!! I'm going to make one for my husband for Father's Day!

[@Homemadeidea]

I'm sure he will love it! Thanks for checking out my video. Have a great day!!

[@anitapratatpsingh]

Greetings frm India 🙏 Very creative idea u share wth us...will make it very soon....as a male a great idea for women thanks a lot dear.....keep it up.....my best wishes for u.....👍

[@lilmama3516]

Good job man..that there is a great man who can do this for his woman - Awesome ~!! and took your advice and making blankets..!!!

[@Homemadeidea]

T Richards Thank you very much! I can put down my ego long enough to make something warm and fuzzy ... lol. Have a great day!!

[@jessicastrong6006]

A long time after I saw this, I tried to do the braided edge with my daughter, it came out terrible ! The little pieces were sticking out, & some strips ripped because the slit was too low. It's a larger size , & the fleece was thick. I may just cut it off all around & try to sew it. Yours came out so beautiful and perfect.

[@carrolljulian5925]

I love the video & I now see that you started in the middle. I started on the wrong place & had nothing to cut in two & tie off. A learned lesson! Thanks for the video! Keep being sweet!

[@Homemadeidea]

Thank you! Glad you like it. Yep .. starting in the middle creates a good spot to tie and finish it off. It can still be done on the corners, just woulodnt be as easy or as clean of a finish. Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment!! Have a great day!!

[@susanhewlett6146]

Awe that's sweet of you to do that for her love it

[@Homemadeidea]

Susan Hewlett She did very much :-) . Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment :-). Have a great day!

[@maejohnson1435]

Easy to understand tutorial. Thanks! Just finished my baby's blanket :)

[@Homemadeidea]

+Mae Johnson Glad you liked it :-) Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment! Have a great day!

[@daniellesimone7769]

Your video touched me - both with your creativity and caring. Thank U for sharing!!! Danielle

[@Homemadeidea]

Thank you very much! I can build Jeeps, motorcycles and hot rods .. Why not use the skills to make a blanket as well :-) . Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the kind words :-) Have a great day!

[@daniellesimone7769]

Exactly! We can ALL do just about anything we endeavor. As I read the other day..."Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone". Take care!!

[@Homemadeidea]

That is a very true statement! Have a great day!

[@kab4292]

That's makes such a pretty edge for the blanket. Great vid.

[@Homemadeidea]

Happy you liked it :-) Thanks!

[@NudgingCharlie13]

I love this technique. Nice job.

[@Homemadeidea]

NudgingCharlie13 Thanks a bunch! Glad you liked it! Thanks for taking the time to drop a line! Have a great day!!

[@seraphale]

If my boyfriend made me a blanket I'd crap a brick in delight. :) Pay attention, fellas!

[@Homemadeidea]

She pretty much did .. lol. Then she started crying. Now it's either with her when she is watching tv or on her bed when she is asleep. So .. safe to assume she liked it. ;-)

[@suebolton5]

Great job! Will definitely be trying this very soon as have a granddaughters birthday at the end of Jan & I'm sure she will love one of these. Thanks for the tutorial :-)

[@Homemadeidea]

Thanks! Glad you liked it :-) Once I got started on the braid it went pretty quick. I enjoy doing creative things. Most of the time my creativeness involves welders and hot metal. This was a neat change. I'm sure your granddaughter will love it, my girlfriend still wraps up in hers while watching TV. Thanks for the kind words and checking out my video! Have a great day!

[@dorawiesner2648]

Loved your Video!! Am making a Baby Blanket & wanted to used a different way to finish it without the knots. Also, loved the way you explained it... Thank you very much!!

[@Homemadeidea]

+Dora Wiesner You are very welcome :-) Glad you like the blanket and my video. Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment! Have a great day!

[@karebearkarolina]

I love it, thanks for posting this, for some reason I had a hard time finding proper instructions for braiding the fringes :)

[@Homemadeidea]

You welcome :-). Glad I could help. It was pretty easy once I got the hang of it. Have fun!

[@holly5791]

I love 💕 too. I also LOVE the tip you used(I have watched many do this), about using the twist tie as an aid. If a person has arthritis in their hands, as I do, that is a tremendous help! Thank you! If your girlfriend doesn’t appreciate the effort you put into this, let me say, you’re probably with the wrong girl! I noticed that this is an older video...so, how did she react?😊👍🏻

[@anissastsrr5608]

I'm going to this right away! I have a latch hook that I'm gonna use for the loops. Great job! Thanks for sharing!

[@Homemadeidea]

+Anissa Stsrr Sorry for the long time to reply. KZbin messaging never notified me of you leaving this. Hope the blanket turned out well! Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment!

[@jaynedewindtrussell3917]

My first time seeing this kind of edge, and I love it! Don't let them tease you about doing woman's craft's! Heck I have a male friend that can crochet faster than I can!

[@Homemadeidea]

Jayne Russell Thanks, glad you like it. Aaa .. no one has ever said anything to me about it. Just great comments left here on the video. Besides, I got the physical cut/scares to prove that I lots of "manly" stuff. I gotta get the material ordered to make one for my Grandmother. Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment!! Have a great day!

That is beautiful!

[@grammybear2117]

I'm going to try this. Well done!

[@Homemadeidea]

Thank you! Hope it comes out well for you!! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Have a great day!!

[@maryoesterborg9397]

I like this method of all that I’ve seen.

[@canukmrsben]

Super tutorial. Like the way that you used the double layers for braiding as feel it gives a much nicer finish than the single layer technique does. Question: Am I correct that you recommend working from the wrong side of the blanket? THANK YOU! P.S: Apologize for asking as perhaps you mentioned it, but I am hard-of-hearing so may have missed it in your commentary.

[@Homemadeidea]

Thanks for the nice comments and you are very welcome. Yes, I was working from the back of the blanket. That created the thin red trim around the front & more bold braid on the back to contrast against the solid red. It's really up to you where you want the braid to be. If you work from that back of the blanket like I did, the braid will be on the back and trim up front. Or, if you work from the front of the blanket, the braid will be on the front and trim edge on the back. It's really a matter of preference and not a right or wrong thing. I like the double layer also because you can use contrasting colors to create a better effect and much warmer. She sleeps with the blanket on her bed every night .. so I take she liked it :-)

[@nanettereneroberts1702]

Thank you! I've been researching these tied blankets to figure out which I like best and yours has my vote! I'm gonna use this technique for blankets for homeless men... the larger coverage and permanent tie is what did it, plus this looks great !! :) p.s. do you have a brother? lol

[@Homemadeidea]

Rene' Roberts Yeaaa .. I won!! LOL. Glad you like it. This method is much better than the "tassels" version. They tend to come untied. Nope ... sorry no brother :-) . Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment! Have a great day!!

[@pandaislander29]

Haha I love this video. Definitely quoting you on some of these things.

[@Homemadeidea]

Glad you liked it! Feel free to promote ... quote ..or make one just like it :-) . Thankd for checking out the video and taking the time to leave a great comment. Have a great day!!

[@pandaislander29]

I was actually looking for a better video on how to cut the fringe before braiding because I felt that the other videos made them too long and the braids didn't look as nice. You also had a good point about them taking too much material off of the final blanket, making it smaller. I really hope your girl liked it. I'll probably use this video to make a blanket with this nice braided edge. You have an awesome day too!

[@Homemadeidea]

Another thing I seen on the fringe. They tend to become untied in the wash. At the end where i tied that one off, I added a few stitches to make sure that it didn't become untied.

[@pandaislander29]

Ok, awesome. Thanks. Do you know if the holes get too big or break/tear so far, or are they durable with this braid?

[@MusicLover-yo5rs]

Great tutorial. Thank you!

[@ashhess16]

Cool thank you was gonna make a tie blanket for my daughter but like this better much cleaner look

[@Homemadeidea]

Glad you like it. Im sure your daughter will love it! Thanks for checking out my video :-) Have a great day!

[@whitneymorales1182]

Love it and how sweet!

[@Homemadeidea]

Thanks!

[@StacyyLynn8]

this is so cute!

[@Homemadeidea]

Thanks!! Put my wrenches and welder down long enough to fabricate something that wasn't metal .. lol.

[@jessicastrong6006]

I agree , I think the Fringe takes up too much fabric, Thank You . Also I wouldn't like Fringe in my baby's face nor mine. It looks large That's Good Too 🙂👍

[@lovebug211000]

that is so awesome i would like to do something like that but i would need someone to help me do it how many did you make are their any different ones that you have made?

[@Homemadeidea]

Glad you like it :-) This is the only one I've made so far. I made this one for my girlfriend instead of just buying a gift at a store. I've thought about making one for my boys using some different materials like Real tree camo or something more "manly". When I do, I'll be sure to make a KZbin vid of it. Thanks for checking out my videos! :-)

[@lovebug211000]

your welcome. i thought that was awesome that will be a great gift for your son maybe if they pay battlefield 2 or something a theme that they like

[@ChefAsher]

Great video... and sooo sweet of you to take this kind of time and put that much effort in to making this for your girl... she will cherish this.. I have to say don't usually like videos done by guys... but I like you a lot.. I will check out your other channels. thanks

[@Homemadeidea]

CHEF ASHER Thanks! Glad you liked the video :-) Doesn't hurt to put down the wrenches long enough to make something warm and fuzzy .. lol. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a great comment! Have a great day!

[@ChefAsher]

lol

[@jellyacc]

OMG this must've taken a long time! but i like how much neater it looks than the tie blankets. i've got a crochet hook so that'll probably come to my advantage! actually, how long did this take?

[@Homemadeidea]

It wasn't too bad. Maybe a couple of hours. It does turn out neat though! Thanks for dropping in and leaving a great comment! Have a great day!

[@aimeedelacruz5268]

Great tutorial! I just have a couple of questions, how do you start off for the first braid? In the video you already had it started and it looked like you were at your third or fourth knot. Also, to end the knot, does that go for all four corners or does it continue all around the blanket and end in one corner? Please reply asap, I would like to do this for my boyfriend by Valentines Day :)

[@Homemadeidea]

Thank you, glad you liked it!! Yea .. I got carried away and forgot to video the first braid. The first braid is basically just like the rest. Pick a spot to start (I started in the middle of the "foot" of the blanket). Have 2 tabs that you want to be your "starters", the one on the right will go through the slot of the one on the left. Pull the braid down tight like I demo'd in the video. Continue all the way around including the corners not stopping until you get to where you started. Then tie it off and you are done. I'm going to make my girlfriend some pillows to match the blanket for Valentines Day. I will video it and post it here on my channel. Be sure to subscribe so you will know when I post it. Feel free to ask any questions if you need help. Thanks for checking out my video :-)

[@Homemadeidea]

HomemadeIdea Oh yea .. BTW .. my girlfriend spells her name just like yours. :-) Have a great day :-)

[@aimeedelacruz5268]

OK. Thank you so much! I will definitely subscribe! And aww that's awesome! Im sure she will love the pillow :)

what size material to make a quilt. Love It!

[@Homemadeidea]

Over 10,000 views! Thanks everyone!

[@Homemadeidea]

***** Thanks :-) . As much as I enjoy working on my Jeep, Mustang and my motorcycles. It doesn't hurt to put down the wrenches to make something for her. Thanks for checking out my video!! Have a great day! :-)

[@marysia230]

I see she's an ex-gf now...how could she let a guy like you get away?! Great video and thanks for sharing...you'll find the right woman if you haven't already.

[@mcalislr]

I was thinking the same thing. I'd love a man to make a blanket for me.

[@4mam54]

Yours blanket is beautiful. But, can I do this with just 1 layer of fleece?

[@Homemadeidea]

Thank you for the kind comment :-). Yes 1 layer will also work fine. The edge will not have the multicolored effect but it will still be nice. Thanks for checking out my video!! Have a great day!

[@4mam54]

HomemadeIdea Thanks for your quick reply. God bless you. :-)

[@Homemadeidea]

You are welcome and may God bless you :-)

[@carolinagirl220]

Awesome! How many yards of fleece did you use for your blanket?

[@Homemadeidea]

+Joyce Allen You dont have a reply option under your name, hope this makes it to you. I used 2 yards of each. Thanks! Have a great day!

[@alishamacnicol3926]

@HomemadeIdea do you tie it off at each corner or just one corner??

[@Homemadeidea]

+Alisha MacNicol Tied off at that one spot at the lower center. It's braid the rest of the way around. Thanks for checking it out! Have a great day!

[@jessicastrong6006]

What size was your blanket ?

[@kabloom1574]

How many yards did you use for this? And I think it awesome and sexy as hell that you did this....not only can you fix her car but you made her a blanket too. Glad to know my hubby isn't the only awsome man out there. Kudos to you.

[@Homemadeidea]

kabloom Well .. thank you very much!! :-) It was 3 yards of each color. It was a bit of change from getting burned by weld splatter to soft furry cloth .. lol. It was some creative fun though. Glad that you got a good man and you recognize that you do .. that's very commendable on your part! Thanks for taking the time to leave a very flattering comment! Oh .. if you your hubby is into cars and bikes check out my other channel: kzbin.info. Thanks again!! Have a great day!!

[@jessicastrong6006]

Yes I would like a little tool like that to help braid it. Hmm, It's just a piece of wire. ?

[@Homemadeidea]

Yep, it is just a piece of wire. Hope it helps! Have a great day!

[@ICreateThoughts]

I love it!!!!

[@Homemadeidea]

Nikki Nicole Thanks, glad you loved it!! Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment!! Have a great day!

[@jessicastrong6006]

How many inches do you cut into it ?

[@KohakuM96]

Can you use something other than fleece with this?

[@Homemadeidea]

Kohaku Matsuoka I haven't tried it but Im sure you could. I think I would stick with thicker fabrics to make the braid look right. Thanks for checking out the video and have a great day!

[@riakaur7433]

Just wondering, about how long does it take to make it?

[@Homemadeidea]

+Ria Kaur Well.. It took me a couple of hours. But I was slow. I usually build hot rod car engines. I did that one for my x-gf. Havent made one since. But I'm gonna do another in a few days that will be a Kentucky Wildcats one.

[@ladyreck]

What is the tool you used to pull the fleece through the slit??

[@Homemadeidea]

I was using a piece of wire that ties computer cables together during shipment. Much like a bread tie wire except longer.

[@chandramartinez1946]

did you only tie off at the end or on all four sides?

[@Homemadeidea]

Just that one place, the braid holds the rest intact. I made another one a few weeks ago. I just haven't edited the video and pushed it to KZbin. It demonstrates better the method of starting and finishing. Hopefully, I'll get it to KZbin within a week or so. So, keep an eye out for the release. If you subscribe to the channel it will send you an email letting you know when I release new videos. Thanks for checking it out! Have a great day!

Very creative, thanks for sharing a new idea! (And don't worry, it's obvious you're still a guy's guy... heck, you used a metal tape measure and cable wire to do it, so it's obvious you're no girl!) :-D

FYI, your 'heart fleece link' does not go thru.

[@Homemadeidea]

Thank you for letting me know. I try to provide links to make it easy for people to find material. Problem is, inventory on Amazon changes daily. I didn't see that exact material on Amazon but here are some other heart material choices: amzn.to/2AcU1PM . Thanks for pointing that out to me! Have a great day!!

[@daniellesimone7769]

Perfect! Thankx!
