WOW! WHAT A DEAL... Because I have limited space in my studio, every year I have to make some hard cuts to bring in something new. So, let's clear this out to make room for next years new collections. My loss is your win with this amazing clearance pricing. Limited quantities, and it won't last long.
A soft and cuddly Sugar Skull Blanket and help celebrate this wonderful Mexican tradition. I love the way the bright colored skulls look on the jet black background. Minky manufacturers are now able to print anything on Minky fabric without loosing ANY of its softness. In fact, sometimes the printing process makes it even softer.
What you'll be getting... a "SUGAR SKULL" Travel Blanket, it's approximately 40" x 60" when it's unfolded. It includes Travel Handle. You'll see the "SUGAR SKULL" silky soft Minky on the front and the BELLA Minky fabric in Neon Pink on the back side. When you're on the go, it folds up into a 12" x 18" pillow. Each Travel Blanket includes the Blanket, attached storage pillow, toggle closure on the pillow, & a "D" ring attached to both corners of the pillow for a variety of carrying options for the match Strap/Handle.
Step-by-step instructions for efficiently folding the blanket within its integrated pocket. (see picture above)
1. Lay it flat: Spread the blanket on the floor or a table (skip this step if you're already a pro!).
2. Pocket Prep: Make sure the pocket is tucked inside the blanket, not hanging out. Imagine it like a pants pocket that needs to be pushed in.
3. Fold in Thirds: Taking the long sides of the blanket, fold them in towards the middle. The pocket will help you eyeball where to make the folds. The edges will just slightly overlap in the middle. (not exact thirds.)
4. Halfway There: Now fold the length of the blanket in half, leaving the top edge about 12 inches away from the bottom.
5. The Tricky Part: Slide your hand inside the pocket (like reaching into your pants pocket). While your hand is inside the pocket and blanket, grab the top edge of the blanket (through the pocket and blanket material).
6. Pull it Through: Hold onto that top edge and pull it towards you, bringing the pocket out and now the folded side of the blanket is half way in the pocket. Imagine turning a pillowcase right-side out while pulling the pillow inside.
7. Flatten and Fold: Smooth out the pocket, and you'll see half the blanket is now tucked in. Simultaneously fold the blanket in half & stuff it into the pocket.
8. Bonus Pillow: Fluff the tucked-in part so that it is the desired shape.
9. Secure and Store: Fasten the toggle into the “D” ring if you want to keep it closed. You can even store small extras in the pocket, like sunglasses or snacks.
10. Unfold and Repeat: To use the blanket, just reverse the steps. Secure the pocket and handle back inside the blanket and fasten the toggle to keep them in place for a cleaner look when unfolded.
Day of the Dead & Sugar Skulls History:
- Day of the Dead is an interesting holiday celebrated in central and southern Mexico during the chilly days of November 1 & 2. Even though this coincides with the Catholic holiday called All Soul’s & All Saint’s Day, the indigenous people have combined this with their own ancient beliefs of honoring their deceased loved ones. They believe that the gates of heaven are opened at midnight on October 31, and the spirits of all deceased children (angelitos) are allowed to reunite with their families for 24 hours. On November 2, the spirits of the adults come down to enjoy the festivities that are prepared for them.
- Sugar skulls represented a departed soul, had the name written on the forehead and was placed on the home ofrenda or gravestone to honor the return of a particular spirit. Sugar skulls are labor intensive and made in very small batches in the homes of sugar skull makers.
