Bean Bag Tutorial

I kind of felt like a watermelon in this outfit.  At least that means it is almost summer right? 

I made these bean bags a few weeks ago for a friend's son, and decided to make them for our friend's twin girls' 1st birthday.  I took some more picture this time in case you want to make them!

And I made some owls to go with them: 

First cut out your squares for the bean bags.  I cut mine 6 inches by 6 inches.  

 

Then cut out your letters from iron on/transfer paper. 

 (Make sure to cut your letters backwards. Luckily that didn't matter with the name Ava.)

Follow the directions on the transfer paper.  For mine I ironed it onto the black fabric, peeled off the paper and then ironed it on to the bean bag square.  

Do this for all your letters: 

Lay your fabric pieces facing in.  Then sew around the edges, leaving about 3 inches on one side open to fill it with beans.  

Turn your bean bag inside out.  And fill it with beans. 

Fold in the extra few inches and pin down. 

 I did a zig zag stitch around all four edges. 

Do this for all of your bean bags. 

 I also made these little owls.  I just used felt and hand sewed them. 

 I found these cute buckets at Target. 

Added a book, the bean bags and owls and love how it turned out!
