Trim your fleece material so that all four sides are straight and cut smoothly. Measure out your 4½'' long, by 1½'' wide (4½ X 1½'') fringe section along the outer edge of the entire piece of material. If you have dakika uneven strip left beygir the end, simply trim herif off evenly. Using sharp scissors, cut each fringe section out. Be sure to pull the fleece tight and then with one clean smooth stroke, cut the strip. Otherwise you will end up with choppy edges that don't look bey nice as a smooth edge.
