@Elisa – I emailed a response to you but thought others may have the same question. Basically, when you snip the corners you are cutting off a small triangle of fabric, almost to the edge of the stitches, to lessen the bulk of fabric.

Love these ideas! I would love to use them in September when my little girl turns 3!

Afraid I’m a bit sewing impaired, however. Could you explain what direction/size the snip should be on the corners of the bean bags to make them pointy? Thanks!

Thanks, Nikki. I am going to take these ideas and "princess" them up for Miss D.'s princess-themed (her idea, not mine) party. Country-Fried Mama’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday

I love the idea of making the box. Bean bags is one of the things I made for my son's party. Since his party was a race car theme, we used a tire to throw the beans bags through. I used checkered racing fabric for the bean bags. It was a big hit with the kids. It's great to be able to make these things yourself because then they're the way you want them, the colors you want them, and they're less expensive. Amanda’s last blog post..16 Ways to Rejuvenate

What creative ideas! Your children will certainly remember that birthday. Children need lots of hands-on, create learning and these activities are perfect. Evelyn Saenz’s last blog post..Why Make a Lensography?
