Wow Your Friends : Keep Your Picnic Blanket Secure

You have a romantic date all planned, but when you get there, you find that you cannot set up because as soon as you lay down your blanket, it flies away.

Take rubber bands and tie them to each corner using about an inch of the blanket, then fold the corners underneath. You will think you have put cement blocks on your blanket.

The reason your picnic blanket floats away is because air gets caught underneath the mat. Securing the corners will keep air from entering underneath the blanket, thus securing it to the ground.
