I was at Target and saw those taggie blankies and was shocked that they cost like $10! What a rip off. I knew I would be able to make one fairly easily.
First I cut out two squares of flannel and a bunch of strips of ribbon.
I laid the first flannel piece face up. The ribbon strips I folded over and put the loop part facing the middle of the blankie with the ends coming off the edge of the fabric. I laid the top fabric pretty sides together and would pin the ribbon in the middle.
Below you can see what the inside of the blanket looked like, and the whole blanket ready to sew. wrong sides faced out and ends of ribbons sticking out.
I sewed all around the blanket leaving a small gap to turn the whole thing inside out. Once I t was turned inside out, I sewed along the outside of the blankie and did a few quilting lines to keep the layers together. Success! it didn’t even cost me anything because I was able to use all scrap material and ribbon.
