First things first: lay the picnic blanket out flat
The first step to folding a picnic blanket is to spread it out on a flat surface. Make sure there are no creases or wrinkles in the fabric. This will make the folding process much easier.
Fold the corners inwards
Take two diagonally opposite corners of the picnic blanket and fold them inwards towards the center of the blanket. Repeat this with the other two opposite corners. You should now have a smaller square shape.
Fold the blanket in half
Once you have folded the corners inwards, take one end of the blanket and fold it towards the middle. Repeat this with the other end of the blanket. You should now have a long, rectangular shape.
Roll it up
Now it’s time to roll up the blanket. Fold one end of the blanket towards the middle, and then roll it up tightly. Make sure you start at the end where the corners were folded inwards, as this will help keep the blanket secure when it’s rolled up.
Secure it with a strap or tie
Finally, once the blanket is rolled up tightly, you can secure it with a strap, tie, or piece of string. This will make it easier to carry and prevent it from coming undone while you’re on the move.
