If you remember, I made bean bags for the Fall Festival at the boys' school. Any chance I have to craft something up, I'm going to take it!
Here's the little tutorial on how to make these bean bags, and find a use for those old, worn out jeans in the process!
What You'll Need
■ Old Jeans
■ Scissors
■ Thread
■ Ruler
■ Beans (I used black eyed peas, I'm not sure if there's a better kind, I actually didn't Pinterest this at all!)

How To
■ Lay out Jeans, measure the desired dimensions. (Mine were 3"x3")
■ Cut out
■ Sew together on three sides
■ Add beans. I actually weighed each of mine to make sure they were identical (I told you in the Fall Festival post that I put way too much thought into it!).
■ Sew closed on 4th side
■ Throw! I mean, that's the fun part of bean bags, right?

I've seen some with X's and O's embroidered or painted on them for Tic-Tac-Toe. That looks like a cute idea, but make sure you do that before sewing the beans inside.
Enjoy!!
