Abilities Required: Newbie. You’re going to color, reduce out a printable, and apply the printable to terra cotta pot saucers with adhesive. Very simple.

I grew up in a household of 5 kids, and we used to get tossed outdoors within the summer season. “Go play!” my mother would say . . . so we made up loads of video games, rode our bikes, and took hikes by the lake.

Which now that I take into consideration, wasn’t really a lake, however was an enormous reservoir for runoff. It appeared huge on the time 😮

I at all times beloved being outdoors with my brothers, and we had a number of video games that have been our favorites. One in every of them was tossing tennis balls into buckets, and giving ourselves “factors” relying on the bucket we have been capable of attain with the balls.

Impressed by that childhood sport, I created a DIY bean bag toss utilizing clay pot saucers and a printable.

You possibly can play with as many individuals as you want, however I discover this bean bag toss sport is most enjoyable taking part in with two individuals in rounds. You are able to do a event bracket in the event you like!

Make Your Personal Bean Baggage

I bought bean baggage as a result of my stitching machine was within the store on the time I needed to finish my bean bag toss sport. Had my stitching machine been out there, I might’ve made them myself out of cotton duck materials (out there at Jo-Ann or the same material retailer).

The bean baggage I bought have been 5″ x 5″ squares – although apparently “regulation” beanbags are 6″ x 6″ sq..

One yard of cotton duck materials makes about 20 bean baggage at 6″ x 6″, and also you’ll most likely need to make a number of completely different colours so scoring is simple to maintain monitor of.

You’ll reduce out squares 1″ bigger than you need your completed baggage and use a double sew or zigzag to strengthen them.

You should use any Mod Podge formulation if this may simply keep inside. Or spray sealer (it’s as much as you).

If you happen to do hold it outdoor and use the outside formulation, you’ll have to seal it. As a result of the one challenge is that I discover that Mod Podge Out of doors typically stays cheesy for fairly awhile (due to remedy time), particularly in humid environments.

I like to recommend utilizing a sprig or brush on sealer excessive if you would like the bean bag sport to have the ability to be stacked for storage.

If you wish to depart this sport out within the solar, use Out of doors Mod Podge after which a UV resistant or brush on sealer. That manner the solar received’t fade your undertaking.
