Plaid A3 Paper Instructions

Use 3 A4 or 3 A3 sheets to create one large blanket design together. Perfect for family blankets, anniversary throws, class projects, and personal gifts for the teacher.

1. Place 3 sheets of paper in a row
2. Stick them together, or keep them separate
3. Have everyone draw together on the three sheets
4. Take a photo from above of all three sheets together, or of each sheet separately
5. We will then digitally combine the three separate drawings into one large blanket design.

• Trace pencil lines with a black marker or fineliner for clear, even drawing lines
• Erase pencil lines after tracing over them
• Photograph each sheet, or all three together, from directly above in good daylight
  
  

Also don’t forget to check out our drawing tips for children and photo tips, with helpful explanations for making the perfect drawing and the best photo of your design.

You don’t need to tape the three sheets together. For example, when multiple children or family members each draw on a separate sheet. We then combine the three separate drawings into one large plaid composition.

We asked the Happy Big Family Brothers to create a family throw and show the entire process. Curious about what they made? Watch it in the video below on our blog post: A knitted blanket as a personal gift: Making a large family throw
