Bean Bags for the Boys

The boys have been very keen gamers since they received an X-Box for Christmas so I’ve made them some bean bags to slump into in front of the TV. It’s been years since I’ve made a bean bag and I’m constantly surprised at how many bags of beans are needed to fill them. This medium sized bean bag took 3 x 500g bags. At $12.95 per bag it certainly makes this little project quite expensive. BUT…I’m proud to say that all of the fabric used was from my existing stash!

I used the bean bag pattern on the Lincraft Website. Their instructions state that you will need one 500g bag of beans. Don’t believe them!!! I adjusted the pattern to be halfway between a child’s and an adult’s sized bean bag.

The boys are very happy with their new chairs!
