no-sew polar fleece scarf

It's possible that you might have never set foot in a fabric store. And with good reason, it can be daunting knowing the difference between organza and cotton. Or the best types of fabrics to use for different projects.
This is a fool proof project for your child. :)
Age: 6 and up
Skills: able to cut a straight line
Materials:

• 1/4 yard (9 inches, 22.86 cm) of polar fleece (make sure you let the person at the cutting table know that you need a little extra if it looks like the fabric is not 9 inches exactly. Sometimes as fabric is cut it can shift and not be straight. Adult: make sure that you make the fabric even on both ends. This can frustrate a child if it's not exact.)
  
• fabric scissors (there is not getting around this. Household scissors will not do the job. Children's scissors will work, but they have to be higher quality (around $4). I have a pair of Fiskar's I received for a Christmas gift as a child - they are ONLY for fabric to ensure that they stay sharp. I can't imagine they were more than $10).

1. Open scarf up from the fold so you have one long piece of fabric.
2. Cut a 3" straight line 1/2" down, and each 1/2" to make a fringe. Then turn and cut fringe on the other side to match the first. See picture below. You should have 18 fringes on each side.

* The edges don't need to be hemmed because of the nature of polar fleece. *

Hint: this scarf makes great Christmas gifts for friends and family.
