Materials: candle lighter or matches; Advent Wreath with five candles; optional: print the instructions

Create cozy, no-sew fleece blankets to share using these detailed instructions. Check with hospitals, homeless shelters, care facilities, and pet rescue organizations to find a local recipient eager for your creations. Consider asking your broader community to share fleece donations to minimize the cost of this giving project.
