its really easy... just take 2 different blankets (make sure that the sides you want showing are on the outside) and place them on top of each other. Then take scissors and cut little strips. once you've cut little strips on all 4 sides (the 4 corners should be cut out. so like a L and the corner is missing) and then you take the 2 different blankets and double knot them together.
You can also make a tie pillow. Do the same exact thing (make sure the size of the material is the size of the pillow. You can also cut the material into a shape so the pillow is in that shape. Like cut it into a heart so the pillow turns out to be a heart) and once you've tied 3 of the 4 sides.... start the 4th side but don't finish it, then get stuffing and stuff the pillow and when all of the stuffing is in there.... finished the tieing.
oh and I also heard about this person who bought like beads (I think they're called Micro-Beads) and they stuffed like a zillion of them (because they are super tiny) into the pillow and when they finished the tieing... the pillow was like those Moshi's. super soft and fluffy
but if you're doing the beads idea- make sure you make a separate pillow (the same shape and size as the original pillow) but the fabric is really thing and you don't tie it.. you sew it, and you stuff the micro beads in there. (if you put the micro-beads into the original fleece pillow it would spill everywhere and leak through the ties) and when you are going to do the last side of the pillow, you don't do it 3/4 done... you stop after you've done the 3rd side. Then you put the sewed pillow inside the fleece one and then you finished the last tieing side.
got it? a little confusing... but its really cool.

Oh! My friend made me one of those for Christmas last year. I love it and think it's a great idea for a present! =D
I found a few websites that explain it pretty decently:
