There are many ways to make your bean bag, even if you've never done it before. There are many ways to make bean bags. You can fill them, make sets of 10 or even make your own bean bag chairs. All of these projects are completely doable, and the rewards are immeasurable.
Sewing a complete set of 10 bean bags
Sew a square from fabric into a cylindrical shape to make bean bags. Take the measurements of the rectangles and measure the seam allowance. After cutting the cylinder, fold it in half and press the edges inwards. This will reduce bulk. Fill the cylinder about half a quart of dried beans.
Cut a square of fabric, about 4 1/2 inches by four inches. Use a rotary cutter to cut the muslin into smaller pieces. You must ensure you have a safe place to cut and that the safety pin is used to prevent the fabric from being torn. Continue this process to make all the cylinders.
You should choose a fabric that is strong yet easy to work with. Avoid synthetic fabric and choose a denim fabric. It is readily available and easy to work with. Beanbags made with recycled jeans can be made from denim jeans. They can be used to stack, toss and play hide-and seek.
No-sew bean bag chair
An inexpensive way to get a comfortable, non-sewable bean bag chair for your home is to use it as a sewing machine. With small plastic pellets and fabric, you can create your own chair. The bag should be filled to 3/4 with beans or pellets. To close it, attach a zipper.
This project is easy and fun for kids and adults alike. The project is easy to complete in just two weeks and does not require any sewing skill. You can also use a hot glue gun for sealing the felt fabric. This will create a soft and colorful cover for your bean bag. It is also a wonderful learning experience.
The bean bag chair with no-sew filling is an important part. Many bean bags purchased from stores contain plastic pellets or styrofoam beads, which can be dangerous for children. You can opt for poly pellets which are non-toxic and cheaper. They are also biodegradable. The bean bag chair will fit easily with the polystyrene foam filler. To make a waterproof cover, you can mix the filler with water-soluble glue.
