DIY Lego Beanbags
Now that the favors for Little Crafter’s party are under control, I decided to start working on games for the kids to play. {If you missed the favors, check out the Lego crayons, chocolates, and necklaces we made!} LC loves to play beanbag toss, so I decided we’d make up some fun Lego beanbags for his friends to use. I’m especially excited about these because {unlike many of our projects} the idea is all mine, as far as I know. I didn’t see them on Pinterest or on anyone else’s blog, I just thought them up as I was trying to fall asleep and couldn’t because of all the party plans…lol.
Here’s how to make them…
Materials:
– felt or fleece
– scissors
– sewing machine and thread
– craft glue
– dry beans or rice
I just cut a pattern from a piece of cardstock that was the size I wanted. You can make them any size you like, or even make them rectangular instead of square. For the circles, I used a 1 3/4″ circle punch to create a pattern and then used that when cutting the felt.
Little Crafter was a big help. He glued the circles in place and did all the stuffing for me. It was definitely a joint project! For older kids, it would be a great introductory sewing project too, since all you’re doing are a few short straight seams…no turning, nothing complicated.
Aren’t they so fun?!
Happy Crafting!
Simple but cute! Great idea!
Love them. Nice job sweetheart.
They are really cute…The kids will love them, and I know LC had lots of fun making them. He just loves to help.
These are perfect!!! I am definitely going to add this to my list of projects!
