Want to make some bean bags? Cant find any in the store?

What i have done here is cut out scrap material. Aproximent inches 4 by 4. The bean bags can be whatever size you would like. Also if you wanted to you cut them in many shapes. Just be sure to leave enough extra for the seams. I had used differnt colors of material for the eye development as well as the texture of the material for the feel.
Here i had lined up the squares to sew. At the bottom picture you can see I had used a zig zag stich. There is also extra material that i had cut off when i was done sewing the inside seams.
On the left below you can see the differnt bean bags that are finished. On the right shows where i had started turning the material right side out like you would a pillow case. After i had it turned the right way i put in at least half full of beans. To finish i had pinced the outside in, and used the zig zag stich to close. These are prefect for development with the multiple colors and designs. As well as playing catch.
