Tutorial: Chicken bean bags for juggling or other toss games

These chicken bean bags are perfect for learning to juggle.  And what an awesome summer day boredom buster that would be!  (Just make sure it’s an outside activity…)  They could also be used for a toss game.  Mary Beth from Cupcakes and Crinoline guest blogs at Skip To My Lou with a tutorial showing how to make them.  Their bodies are just simple squares, but the addition of the felt beak and hair and button eyes turns them into the cutest chicken bean bags.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
