I decided to make the bean bags using felt and my embroidery machine. First, I had to sew a stabilizer to the back of the material and cut out all the letters.<\/p>\n

Then I measured out all the squares..I did 5 inches x 5 inches…it seemed like just the right size.\u00a0 I used spray adhesive to get stick them first to the felt while the embroidery machine did its work.<\/p>\n

Then I sewed the back onto them, leaving the top open.\u00a0 I used a different color felt for the backings, just to add some more color.\u00a0 Then they all got stuffed with plastic pellets.<\/p>\n

The only thing left was the bag! I did the lettering on the embroidery machine and then sewed a drawstring!\u00a0 It was a very fun project.\u00a0 I love Craft Hope and I can’t wait to see what their next project is…if you love to sew or are a bit crafty, please join their latest project.\u00a0 You have until May 15th to get the bean bags done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
