[Nfb-krafters-korner] Making A Weighted Blanket

[Becky Frankeberger]

Daniella, probably just like a pot holder you might make and sew together
that between the two pieces is where the glass beads will go. You can make
squares of say six inches sew them together putting the beads safely inside.
Then sew all the squares you make together. Me, I like mixed looming, and
crochet. So, I would loom the square and crochet the squares together. 

If you need this done fairly quickly I can help, but I run a business. If
you want to learn how, take the classes on looming and crochet. Or if you
want to sew with needle and thread Joyce or someone can help teach you.

Welcome by the way, smile.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your help. I am new to looming, what is the wrip stitch? How
do I make a double sided pannel? I do not have a website for looming
instructions, but ifyou google how to make a weighted blanket, sewing
instructions, will come up. A weighted blanket is anywhere from 5-20 pounds,
and it's used for people with anxiety to help calm them down. They also have
weighted vests. I know this is off topic, but how do I find out information
about the 2018 NFB convention?

Hello all,
I have just started subscribing to this list, so I am not sure how this
works. If this is not the right place for my question, sorry about that.
                I have just started looming, and so far I really like it. I
wanted to make a weighted blanket, but the only things I can find on the
internet are things you need to sew, and I don't know how to do that. Does
anyone know if I could loom tight enough stitches so that stuff wouldn't
fall out of it? I am thinking of using glass gems that you can buy from like
Walmart, or the dollar store, or Polly Pellets like the internet suggests,
if they are not too expensive. Does anyone know what else I could use as
well?
                Thank you all for your help!

Daniella
