A friend of mine has made tied, no-sew fleece throws for a couple of years and donates them to charity.
So, when I found these Disney kits at my local fabric store, I used my 40% off coupon and got a couple.
So, how simple are they? Incredibly simple. The kits come with the printed panel and a solid piece of fleece - both approximately the same size, although you will have to trim them a bit. The fringes are marked outside the perimeter of the printed panel. So all you have to do is put them together and smooth out any wrinkles. I safety pinned the two layers together to help prevent shifting; although, the fleece does a pretty good job of sticking to itself.

| Tie the two parts of each fringe together. |

I thought that it would take a while, but it was amazingly quick and easy.
HOT CHOCOLATE MIX
This frigid weather reminded me of the instant hot chocolate mix that I used to make when the kids were little. You can make up a big container and all you have to do is add hot water. It tastes so much creamer than the commercial instant mixes.
1 lb. jar dry non-dairy creamer
1 box instant low-fat dry milk (to make 8 pints, or 4 quarts)
1 lb. powdered sugar
2 lbs. instant hot chocolate mix
2 teaspoons salt
Mix all ingredients well and store in an airtight container. Add 1/4 cup of the dry mix to 8 ounces of HOT water. You could add miniature marshmallows if you are so inclined!
Stay warm!
