Twister Blanket

Twister is a great game. So what if it says on the box that it's for six year olds? But what if you want to take it with you someplace but would either have to sacrafice the twister or a blanket? It would be a tough decision. But with this blanket you don't even have to make a decision! All you have to do is grab the blanket and a spinner and you're good to go.

Step 1 Items you miiiiiight just need

I got most of the stuff I needed at Walmart, where I saw some girl muttering to a rack of Twilight books and some guy that was saying "I'm just trying to hide the fact that I'm loosing all the hair off of my head!" It was a very interesting trip to Walmart, that's for sure.

Anyway, here are the things you need:

• Two yards of white fleece ($8.88)
• Two yards of some other color material, it doesn't nessecarily have to be fleece, and it's pretty much optional. (I used grey fleece, which was also $8.88)
• Felt. Or you could use some other type of material I guess. You'll need six circles cut out of each green, red, blue, and yellow.
• Scissors
• A tape measure or something that will help you get all those darn dots lined up.
• A sewing machine and thread. Or I suppose you could hand sew it, but I'm not sure why you would want to. That would be a lot of sewing. Whatever floats your boat I guess.
• Chalk or something to draw on the felt with. I used a pen, but that didn't work so well.
• Something circular that is the size you want your dots to be. Mine were 6 1/2 inches across.

Awesome blanket, I've always wanted to make a coat out of a real Twister mat.

[Sunbanks]

That would make an awesome raincoat! :)

[splazem]

This is awesome!

[Doctor What]

I've been looking for a new comforter for my bed, I think I'll make this instead.  Could prove to be useful with "future encounters".  (hehehehe).

[Sunbanks]

It keeps me as warm, if not warmer, than my comforter does.

Hehehe when I was making this I was thinking that too :P

Sunny asks "Who wants to play an, uhh, innocent game of twister in my bedroom on my bed?"

[Sunbanks]

Hehehe ;)

[bassclarinet23]

[Sunbanks]

It took me forever to get around to laying out the dots :P Thanks! :D

[killerjackalope]

Yes, sunny this is great, I am ashamed to admit why I'll be making it...

[Sunbanks]

Thanks :D Hehe I probably know why you're making it :P I was thinking someone would probably think of that...

[killerjackalope]

I had before I'd heard you were making it lol...

Don't worry sunny, I'll not defile it... _^much

[Sunbanks]

You had what? lol Hehe ok, if you say so :P

[killerjackalope]

I'd thought of twister bedsheets or some such before but never thought of making them...

[Sunbanks]

Ahh, I get it now. I don't really know when or how I decided I wanted to make a twister blanket...

[ChrysN]

This is a really cute idea, nicely done!

[Sunbanks]

Thank you!

[jbrecken]

What a really awesome blanket! I'm jealous. Although it looks like you need a bigger bed, or else those greens are going to be tricky.

[Sunbanks]

Thanks, you should make one for other people to be jealous of :D Those greens would be very tricky...

[littlechef37]

Awesome 'ible, well written, and you didn't skip-out on anything!

[Sunbanks]

Thanks! It feels so nice to be finished with it :D
