Beanbag tutorial (English)

I wanted to make numbered beanbags ever since I saw the beanbags on this site! I found a large pile of felt on my mothers attic so I decided to create them out of felt.
You need:

felt (in different colours)

many colours sewing thread

Patern of numbers (I used the ones on this site and enlarged them but you could make them in word aswell)

pinns and needles

siccors

pinking shears

square piece of cardboard, the size you want the beanbags to become

Cut 20 squares of felt. I made 2 of each colour but you could do as you like.

Pin your numbers on the felt
Cut them out.
Figure out wich number you want on what colour beanbag.
Pin the numbers on the felt quares and sew them carefully.
All the way past the number.
Choose the colours for you front and backsite of the beanbag. I used 3 following colours for front, back and number but do as you like.


Select you beans. I used 3 different kinds. Lentills, split peas and brown beans. I did this for 2 reasons. 1. I like the bags to not be all the same. 2. I never made beanbags before and wanted to try wich I like best. I like the letills best!
Sew the beanbag closed, but leave a hole big enough for a spoon to fit in.
Fill up you beanbag, and close it.
Make ten this way and let the playing begin!!!
