How to make a nap mat cover. I wanted to make a nap mat that would be fluffier than just using batting. Nap mats are required and that means a nap mat cover is important too. I plan on making another cover for back up for my 3 1 2 year old and another set for my 17 month old. We ll start by making the blanket portion of the cover.
Creating a cover. Make sure you have pre washed all of your fabric and adjust measurements according to your mat insert. Pin them face sides together leaving one of the 33 sides open. Cut two pieces of loop fastener and sew each one to the fabric cover.
Cut a 1 yard by 33 wide piece of your outer fabric and a 1 yard by 33 piece of the minky fabric. Pin each end to the rolled up mat and sew the ends in place to create a shoulder strap for. Roll up the nap mat and secure it closed by pressing on the hook and loop fastener tabs. I made a combo duvet cover with an attached pillow and blanket.
I m sure there are covers you can purchase but making a cover with fabric your child chooses will make them so happy. Thank you so much. To make the nap mat easy to carry around cut a 30 inch long piece of 2 inch wide ribbon. They consist of a foam type material encased in a nylon cover and provide the child with a place to sleep.
While the nylon provides a washable exterior. It s pretty easy to make a nap mat cover.
