Rainbow Striped OlyFun Picnic Blanket
Categories: Utility, Decor, Oly*Fun, Spring, Summer, Outdoor
This picnic blanket is made with OlyFun to create rainbow stripes using reverse applique and quilt binding techniques. I chose a rainbow of colors, but you could use any of the 19 OlyFun colors. This blanket will roll up small for travel, and expand large for picnics, festivals, concerts, and any outdoor event. OlyFun cuts like paper, making it great for a reverse applique technique that won’t fray. OlyFun is suitable for short uses outdoors, but isn’t recommended for long term weather exposure. This means it’s totally fine for your concert use, but not as an outdoor rug. Speaking of outdoor projects, I used this same technique to make this OlyFun Waves Spring Outdoor Flag, which was ok for short use, but started to break down after being outside for a few months.
