I have wanted to make a set of bean bags for a while now.
I had purchased a Moda Charm pack when we were in Lancaster.
It suddenly dawned on me. They would be perfect for little bean bags!
They were really easy. I also thought it would be cute to put her name on them.
Since I am poor and do not own a fabulous Silhouette... maybe someday.
I printed out the letters in her name on those fabric sheets that can run right
through your printer.
They are pretty cool. (But to expensive.) I found a tutorial where you can make
your own by ironing freezer paper to fabric, cutting it down to size and run it
through your printer like that.
Anyway, I zig zagged the letters onto the charm squares and there you have it.
I filled some with small white lima beans and then i ran out and didn't want to
go to the store.. All I had in the house were lentils...
So I used what I had.
Maddie loves them.
They are great for working on colors... and Letters.
Which Maddie being the 3rd child... needs a little help with. Poor Kid.

Very cute idea. I have been thinking of making bean bags too for my grandson but just for something to keep him busy throwing them in the bucket etc. It is still on the thought process LOL This would be a great way to teach him his letters though as we have to do it anyways.
