Weighted Blanket DIY

 

I’ve been having some problem sleeping lately and I’m not really sure why that is. I may just be getting overwhelmed with all the craft projects I’ve been working on or maybe excited with what DIY project to do next.

I looked it up, for $150 I thought I could make one for far less. So if you also want to get a good night sleep without breaking the bank, try these weighted blanket DIY ideas!
