So if your cute little 14 month old grandson needs some bean bags, you quickly get to work! Today I made five 5 inch bean bags in 5 minutes. OK, it wasn't 5 minutes, but it felt like 5 minutes. I took my 5" plastic quilting template and cut out 10 squares of fleece with a rotary cutter. Next I stitched around the outside edges with a 3/8" seam, leaving a small opening. Then using a funnel, I filled the bags 3/4th's full with some Israeli couscous (from Fresh & Easy). After stitching the opening closed, I pinked the edges. Finally I walked around the house calling "heads up" to my kids while tossing a bean bag at them. They worked perfectly! *wink*
