Hey there!
This month I am participating in yet another Fab Furniture Flippin’ Contest. I previously entered this chair makeover but this time I’m making something from scratch for Cian.
March’s FFC sponsor is Fairfield World and the theme is Mix & Match. Fairfield Worls sells all kinds of stuffing for your craft and home improvemet projects. Their stuffing makes plush toys, teddy bears, handmade dolls and pillows soft and huggable. You can choose from original Poly-Fil premium polyester fiberfill, down-alternative Ultra Plush gel fiber, dry packing fiber, or specialty stuffings made of recycled material or sustainable resources like bamboo or corn.
For this month’s challenge, I decided make a DIY Toddler Bean Bag for my son, since I’m tired of him spilling his milk on my new couch :-)
The mix and match element is the contrasting fabrics that I chose and I used the Poly-Fil Biggie Bean Bag filler (disclaimer: provided free of charge for this contest)
Now, one word of advice. If you can, fill your bean bag OUTSIDE if at all possible. Otherwise, you will be vacuuming little staticky bean bag balls for the next month.
Body slamming the Bean Bag has become a new favorite past-time ;-)
The solid print on the back means it’s reversible for a different look, too!
If you can sew a straight line, then head go grab some fabric and bean bag filler and make your toddler one of these DIY Bean Bag Chairs. Trust me, they will absolutely love it!
I used this tutorial from Project Nursery to create my Bean Bag. It was very easy to follow and both Cian and I love the end result!
Our hosts for this month are Colleen and Charlotte. Click on their names to see what they made for this month’s contest. And as always, if you’re interested in participating in future contests, please email info@fabfurnitureflippincontest.com

January 1, 2017 at 7:06 pmWhat a great idea! When my kids were little, there was nothing they loved more than their own little kid sized seats. Perfect! Thanks for linking up to Funtastic Friday!

December 26, 2016 at 1:39 pmMy 3 year old would love this! He thinks he has to drag all of his blankies and his comforter out when he wants a comfy spot- this would alleviate so many messes!!

March 23, 2016 at 10:56 amOMG yes. Love your bean bag chair. We had one for our daughter that we used and I cannot say how handy it was over the years. I joined the Furniture Flippin for April so am excited to be part of the group now.
