DIY: Turn Any Blanket into a Carseat Canopy

Today's post is a quick fix to turn any baby blanket into a carseat canopy by sewing on two little loops. 


What you'll need:
  • One baby blanket that's a good size to drape over your infant carrier
  • two scraps of fabric, 6" x 10" each
  • two big buttons
  • velcro


First cut your fabric into two pieces, 6" x 10" each...

Next fold them in half lengthwise (wrong side out) and sew down the long side making it into a long tube... 

Roll the seam to the center, then sew one end closed...

Turn each piece right side out, roll the raw edge under and sew it closed... 

Using your carseat handle as a guide for placement, sew velcro in place so each strip secures comfortably around the handle... 

Add a button to each one for looks. Now the front and back of the two strips should look like this... 

Pin your strips to the desired place on your blanket and then attach by sewing a single line across the back of the strip to the blanket... (be sure to double check that you like the placement with them pinned in place BEFORE sewing)... 

Now enjoy your cute little carseat canopy!
