Straps: Take out a large scrap and cut out two straps that are 20 inches by 4 inches. Serge or sew around the the edges of both straps.

Flap: Cut a rectangle measuring measuring 12 by 10 inches. Finish the edges of that rectangle as well.

To fold your blanket into proper position, Lay the blanket right side up. Fold in two sides then fold it in half. Now fold it up from the bottom square by square.

Pin your rectangle piece to the very back panel, flip it over, and mark where the ties go.

Open it all up again and pin your straps to the appropriate panel.

Use a straight stitch to attach your flap and two straps.
