DIT heart shaped bean bags

This tutorial is for bean bags made with a sewing machine. I used sturdy red cotton and a rice filler.

If no-sew is a better option for you, I listed some sites at the end of the post where you can find just what you need!

Instructions for making bean bags

Step 1. Trace a heart shape onto red fabric with white chalk or a fabric pencil.

Step 2. Stitch along the chalk line, leaving a 2 inch (5 cm) opening for adding beans or rice.

Step 3. Pull the fabric from the inside to the outside so right sides are out.

Step 4. Fill the bean bag with beans or rice. 

Step 5. Sew the opening by hand or on the sewing machine.

Your bean bag is ready for Valentine fun!
