Snugglebag

Create a warm wrap from your favorite blanket

Step 1 Find a comfy blanket and a few materials

This project uses:

*a warm TV watching blanket - 60" wide x 85" long is plenty long for a 6' (hu)man. Anything shorter will still work but will not necessarily reach to the ground.

*1.5 yards of velcro, also known as HOOK(rough texture) & LOOP(soft texture) tape

*a needle & thread, or if possible borrow a sewing machine

Lay out blanket on the floor to get started...

I just want to say a BIG thank you for your very easy and clever idea.... .I am a VERY old lady who suffers alot in the Winter when sitting at my computer, I usually wrap myself in a blanket but find it falls open etc......... I live in Engalnd and the dampness gets at my old bones........... God Bless............Ann

Hahahahah, this sounds like one of the testimonials for a snuggie.

New appartement. Old windows. Temperature falls under zero during night Morning everyday I do chat with some dear friends in Texas. I usually ice my butt. The amount you rock is too much for words mate :) Thank you

Nicely done! And more decorative and functional than those silly Snuggies where the bag is open!!

I'll definitely make one of these to keep by the computer

How beautiful the front pattern matches at the velcro! I'm going to make my mom one.

I voted for this neat wrap but it didn't look like it added my vote. I was going to get my girlfriend to make it but I think I can figure it out. Good instructables!

I collect "Biederlack" blankets at garage sales and this is perfect to make with them. Of course, any type of comfy blanket will work. Make them now so you have plenty of Christmas gifts in 10 months!

This is great for lounging around, watching T.V. and even gaming!!!

I love this idea. It's so much better than the shorter models I saw advertised for $40 this past Christmas.

I wish I had thought of this!!! Excellent, simple step-by-step instructions!!! I always see these quality blankets at yard sales. I'm going to snag them this summer and make them for all my 'poor relations'!!! You might want to add that JoAnn Fabrics sells packaged hook & loop for $1.00! Come on Christmas 2009!!!

Great Idea! No need to turn the thermostat up while lounging about, surfing around the web while on the computer, or simply watching t.v. Just the practical sort of thing to save a bit on heating bills. Thumbs up!
