Tutorial: Make a waterproof picnic blanket in just 15 minutes

Whenever we go for a picnic, I find myself looking for a blanket. One that’s not too precious to sit on the ground, but still nice enough to feel festive. Bev from Flamingo Toes shares a tutorial at Lil Luna showing how you can make a picnic blanket, quick and easy. She made one in just 15 minutes! It’s made from two layers – a waterproof underlayer and a fun cotton print topper. Roll it up and store it in a picnic tote and you’ll always be prepared for an impromptu lunch at the park.
