So, I was finally motivated when I started cleaning up my scraps and I found some scraps from a set of Me and My Sister quilts I made a few years ago. I was instantly inspired!
Look how CUTE those are! I was in love as soon as I stitched the last stitch! I used some ribbon from my scrapbooking stash to add some interest for a child or baby.
The backs of each bag are made from a fun lime-green minky fabric with texture bumps on it. It's so soft and wonderful; so much fun for a baby.
I filled each with about 2/3 cup of long grain white rice (uncooked, of course), and then hand-stitched the the opening to finish them up.
They are now ready for some good tossing and flipping and all of the wonderful things kids love to do with bean bags.
I'm linking up with Needle and Thread Thursday with Kelly! Hope everyone is having a great week!
Megan, I saw your post on N&TT and these little bags are terrific! I love your idea of bean bag toys doubling as boo boo bags! Brilliant thinking to use Minky Dot on the backs. Who doesn't love to touch minky? :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words! I showed my son the bag after being in the freezer and he thought it was pretty cool. So glad you stopped by and left a comment; great to hear from fellow crafters.
DeleteThey are indeed very cute! What an excellent idea to use that beautiful green fabric and adding ribbons! I'm sure the tears will dry faster with such a pretty bag.
