Scouting T-shirts and Clothing Blankets

Have a kid who was in the scouts? Don’t let those memories fade – create a scouting t-shirt blanket to remember those days forever. 

The scouts are an educational, outdoorsy club where many boys (and now girls) learn to be kind, thoughtful, well-developed human beings. It’s a place where your kid can learn things like building a fire and tying a human knot – lessons they may not have learned otherwise. While doing all those activities, they are also making memories that they will look back on for years to come. Wouldn’t it be nice if they had a memento to remind them of those times? 

Your kid’s time in scouts are years you’ll want to preserve. Luckily, there are items your child will accrue over the years to help you remember their scouting days: scout clothes and t-shirts. The question is, what do you do with them? Having a closet full of old kid’s clothes isn’t exactly the best way to look back on those days. That’s where t-shirt blankets come in. 

What Are T-shirt and Clothing Blankets?

T-shirt blankets and clothing blankets are blankets made from stitched-together t-shirts. It also usually includes a fleece backing, which gives the blanket its structure and adds comfort. A t-shirt blanket is a way of keeping sentimental clothing without ending up with too many old items of clothing gathering dust in the back of your wardrobe. 

Why Blankets?

Blankets are a great item to preserve memories; they can hold a ton of memories and are also functional! A blanket is a perfect way to stay warm and cozy during a cold winter’s night, and being able to snuggle under a blanket made of your child’s old scouting t-shirts makes the experience even more enjoyable. 

A t-shirt blanket also makes sense as they are able to hold multiple t-shirts in one item. In fact – the more, the better! If you have fifteen old t-shirts at the back of your kid’s closet, you can pull them out and turn them into something special without having to throw away even one of them.

Step One: Pick Out the T-shirts 

First, you’ll need to go through your kid’s wardrobe to find all their old scouting t-shirts. Hand-pick the ones you love the most so that you can turn them into the perfect blanket. Of course, be sure to let your little one know what you’re doing with their old clothes!

Can You Make It Yourself?

Yes – it is also possible to make the t-shirt blanket yourself! Of course, the result won’t be as pristine as if you go to a specialized t-shirt blanket creator, but you might enjoy the process. You’ll need a couple of extra items (other than your t-shirts) if you’re going to make a t-shirt blanket yourself, including a sewing machine and the binding/backing of the blanket. 

Can You Turn T-shirts into Anything Else?

Yes! There are tons of options when it comes to turning your kid’s favorite t-shirts into something brand-new. As well as blankets, you can also create t-shirt pillows, allowing the t-shirts to live a whole new life. These options may make more sense if you already have enough blankets in your home. 

Other Kinds T-shirt and Clothing Blankets

Of course, you can also turn other kinds of t-shirts into a blanket if you want to – if your child wasn’t in the scouts, a blanket made of their normal t-shirts also works! Here are some great types of t-shirt blankets that you might consider: 

• Graduation
• Band Tees 
• Marathon T-shirts 
• Baby Clothes

Don’t forget, you can also choose pillows (rather than a blanket) to preserve memories. If your kid needs a new duvet, a t-shirt quilt works perfectly!

Instead, create something meaningful and cozy with a t-shirt blanket!
