Make this Clever Pillow + Blanket (Planket) With Instructions Provided By thecraftersfilebox.com

They say that necessity is the mother of invention… and I couldn’t agree more! My kids love to have their pillows and blankets with them when the travel, but with FOUR PILLOWS and FOUR BLANKETS it gets mighty crowded in our minivan. So… the night before a recent trip to Disneyworld, at 1 AM, of course, I whipped up these puppies. And. the. kids. LOVED. them. They christened them “plankets” as in Pillow+Blankets, and the name stuck. I am happy to report that there were ZERO fights over “So-and-so-has-my-blanket-and I can’t-find-my-pillow”.

So clever! With road trips and summer holidays just around the corner, these pillow/blankets will surely come in handy and offer some comfort for the kiddos (and adults too!). The planket is made by attaching a fleece blanket to a pillowcase and when it’s not in use, the blanket folds up neatly inside the pillowcase. Handy way to keep everyone’s pillows & blankets organized.

The tutorial shows you how to make the pillowcase, how to attach a fleece blanket and how to fold it all together.
