Baby blanket on the bed: buy in the store or make by yourself?

The children's room is a special room where everyday life turns into a fairy tale, and serious everyday activities are combined with the game. By equipping her, every parent wants to make her beautiful, comfortable, functional and, of course, meets all the needs of the child at a certain stage of his physical, mental and intellectual development.

Selecting accessories for the children's room, you need to take into account all the specific nuances of this room, which is both a bedroom, and a gaming and training area. What is important to consider when choosing textiles: curtains and bedspreads on the bed? First of all, the fabrics for sewing must be hygienic and safe, i.e. It is easy to wear off, without losing the brightness of the colors and the original appearance. In addition, materials, albeit synthetic, must be environmentally friendly, soft and pleasant to the touch. A baby blanket on the bed does not have to be sewn from the same fabric as the curtains, but it must be combined in color with other textile elements. When choosing a product in the store, stop looking at the options of acrylic. This material is soft, pleasant, eco-friendly and easy to care for. A baby blanket on a bed of acrylic imitates fur or natural wool, and bright patterns or images of fairy-tale heroes loved by children add to the interior of the paint and a good mood. Carelessly planted spot on it will not bring much grief, since it is easily removed by a solution of hydrogen peroxide.

A perfect alternative to the finished product bought in the store will be a baby blanket on a bed made by one's own hands. Exclusive thing, of course, will be the decoration of the room and will please the kid with a bright unusual design. Of course, in order to do it, patience and accuracy will be required, but the time taken to work will not be in vain. There are several techniques, simple enough, which will make an inexpensive, but very beautiful product.

Children's bedspreads on the bed are crocheted or knitted with a simple pattern of fluffy yarn of delicate flowers. For such a product suitable acrylic, mohair, cotton twisted thread. The yarn should be soft, fluffy, of good quality. It is better to use threads of different colors, twisting them together for a melange coloring, or to tie color strips, squares or circles, then combining them in a certain color sequence. A beautiful coverlet for a child's bed (photo - in the article), connected by simple columns without a crochet out of thick soft yarn, with a patterned border decorated with a satin ribbon, will turn out even for a beginner knitter.

Very original and bright products are made in the patchwork technique, supplementing them with a three-dimensional application. For this, inexpensive cotton fabrics-cotton, flannel-with pleasant children's patterns are taken. Pieces of material that match well in color and patterns are cut into strips or squares, sewed together, then cut out the reverse side of a plain fabric, padding between the details of a thin sintepon covered, fastened with pins and stitched with a wide stitch in an arbitrary shape (zigzag, snake ). Then the baby blanket on the bed of colored strips of fabric along the edges is trimmed with a wide contrasting edging. Such a product is additionally decorated with applique. To do this, first cut out the cardboard template, then cut out the details of the appliqué from the fabric and hand sewn on the blanket with small stitches. In this case, the edges of the material can be processed, and you can leave a light fringe. Volumetric flowers are made from strips of fabric gathered on a thread on one side so that a contoured circle turns out. They are sewn on a basis in the form of multilayered buds, highlighting the middle with a bright contrasting tissue circle or colored pompon.
