Okay, so I was brain storming today and wanted to find something you could make easily out of plastic bags. I surfed the internet to see what other people were doing, but couldn’t find what I was looking for. So I created my own pattern! Good thing is, it’s pretty cool, my kids love the idea. Bad thing is, it’s a lot of steps and I took a ton of pictures and it’s about an hour long project from start to finish. So I want to make a video tutorial and I am going to put it together tonight, but won’t be able to post it until tomorrow.
So what is this item, you’re asking? It’s cool! It’s a bean bag made out of plastic bags! Not only is it a bean bag, but you can make at least eight out of twenty plastic bags and then on another day, I’m going to teach you how to make the tic-tac-toe board to go with it! The tic-tac-toe board will take a couple of hours, just a heads up. But I will try and do a video tutorial with that one too. Some thing different for you guys!
So, as a heads up, you’re going to need about fifty plastic bags, the ones that are from Wal-Mart and other grocery stores. You can use all one color or all different colors for the bean bags. For the tic-tac-toe board, you’ll want to use one color for the board, preferably white, and you’ll need one color like brown, red, blue, etc for the lines on the tic-tac-toe board. Might as well get creative! You’ll also need some wax paper, some sort of beans (a one pound bag should be enough), thread, your sewing machine, your ironing board and iron, scissors and a funnel for putting the beans into the bag (it’s optional, but makes it much easier!). I believe that’s all the supplies that you’ll need.
Tune in tomorrow for the video tutorial on making the bean bags and then the following day I’ll show you how to make the tic-tac-toe board. You’re kids will love it and other family members will just think you’re crazy!! LOL! TTFN!
