ToyHorseBlanket -tutorial

Especially little girls love toy horses. You can buy all kind of them and all sorts of extras and equipment too.

You don't need to buy all the extras. I made an easy blanket for this horse. I used turquoise piece of felt which I cut off by zig zag scissors. You can re-use the fastener of bras, for example (never throw them away!!!!), to fasten the blanket at front.

This is how I made the blanket to stay on better. For this I needed just two sequins and piece of embroidery thread with metallic effect. Notice that I used just 4 French Knots to fasten it all. 

• 1st on the front side of the left side sequin
• 2nd on the back side of the left side sequin to attach it to the blanket
• 3rd on the back side of the right side sequin (this I made before taking the needle through so it is kind of marker that I don't tighten too much the cord)
• 4th on the front side of the right side sequin to attach the right side sequin to the blanket

Very easy to make. If you need budget gift ideas for a child who loves and has toy horses you can easily make equipment for them and the kid will be happy forever! For the blanket you just need to take the measures of the horse's back and the side all the way to the point you plan the fastening. Measure also the needed width. Then draw it all on the paper, cut off the pattern from the paper and fit on the horse and make needed changes on the pattern. When you first use a paper or something like that you don't waste your valuable fabrics!

Remember to use all your imagination to create most fabulous designs! This is just a simple version to show how the base can be made!
