Ouch!

The problem with that is how do you remove them from a seated position?

A better solution might be to sew a dowel in both ends. One dowel acts as a weight to hold the blanket over the door jam and the other acts as a weight to pull the blanket down. I see it as put it on, get in and lift it out and roll it up on the dowel.

I am going to try snaps and think about dowels after that.
