It's very easy to make a poncho with a blanket!
This fashion accessory is ideal for fall and winter, as it protects you from the cold while remaining elegant.
We will show you the (simple) steps to follow to achieve this goal.
Step 1: Choose the blanket that will serve as the base of the poncho
Start by choosing a blanket that you like and that suits you.
Consider the color, pattern and material of the blanket, which should match your style and taste.
You can choose a wool, fleece or cotton blanket, depending on your preferences.
What size should you choose to make your plaid poncho?
There is no hard and fast rule as to how big of a blanket you need to make a poncho.
It all depends on the size you want your poncho to be and the cut you want to give it.
- Loose and casual poncho: opt for a large blanket, from 130 x 150 cm, which will amply cover your body.
- More fitted and elegant poncho: select a medium or small sized blanket.
All you need to do is choose a blanket that suits you and cut the fabric according to your preferences to get the poncho of your dreams.
Step 2: Cut the blanket
Next, you need to cut the blanket to get the desired shape.
To do this, spread the blanket out on a flat surface and decide on the length and width you want for your poncho.
Mark the cuts with a pencil or marker, then cut the plaid with scissors.
Step 3: Assemble the edges of the blanket to make a poncho
Once the edges of the poncho are cut, you need to assemble them to obtain a rectangular shape.
To do this, simply sew the edges together using a sewing machine or by hand.
You can also use ties to hold the edges in place if you don't know how to sew.
Step 4: Add your personal touch to the poncho
Finally, you just have to add the finishing touches to your poncho:
- Add buttons or snaps to close the poncho around the neck, or even fringes to give it a more casual style.
- Add pockets to store your things, or even drawstrings to adjust the poncho to your size.
And there you have it, your poncho is now ready to wear!
With a little time and patience, you have just created an original and elegant fashion accessory that will keep you warm all winter long.
