My Creative Space - Mini Bean Bags



Did you have these at school when you were a kid? I have vague memories of them but saw them about the web last week and *bing* - the perfect way to use our Moda Pillow scraps! They are just charm squares filled with split peas from the supermarket.



Anya delighted in filling them with me - thank goodness for the funnel and vacuum cleaners I say! We have been practising our throwing and catching, balancing on our heads and even Josiah is enjoying playing with them. For more fun join in here.

    They are so pretty, much nicer than the ones from school!! I made some rooster ones of these last easter for the little lady. Great for using scraps. x

    Hey, good use of scraps! I was just in a discussion on another blog about what to do with scraps. A woman there had made a scrap quilt -- scrap quilt my butt, it was GORGEOUS! I might share your bean bags idea with them.

    I can confirm, that although we had bean bags at school an infinity ago, they looked NOTHING like yours. Unfortunately.
