Hello! Do you know any way to make a weighted blanket? My therapist reccomended getting one of those for me but all I find in the internet is either really expensive or has a texture I hate or looks like a quilt (?), like lots of little weights sewn together. Adapting my house to my sensory needs in little ways is making my life so much easier nowadays and I think this would help a lot considering how much adhd is affected by sleep.

DIY weighted blanket

Weighted blankets are great but can be pricy. Luckily, there are DIY alternatives.

PrettySick Supply has several tutorials for weighted blankets. Autism-asks has also compiled a list of tutorials.

If you like knitting, you could also check out Knitboyknit's knitted weighted blanket tutorial.

Note that a weighed blanket should weigh about 10% of your own body weight.
