Tutorial: 3 ways to embellish gauze swaddle blankets

Kimbo from A Girl and a Glue Gun shows 3 ways to embellish up a plain gauze swaddle blanket to make it something truly special. One gets dyed and some heat vinyl shapes, another gets tie-dyed and a mini pom pom trim border, and the third is stamped and has a contrast binding around the edge. You can buy gauze fabric and make the blankets yourself, or just buy plain blankets and start from there.
