How Do You Build A Bean Bag Game?
• Start with a 15″ (38.1 cm) square of 1/4″ (6.35 mm) plywood (or thinner-sized wood). If wished, have the local hardware store cut it for you if you don’t have a saw or you don’t feel confident enough to do it yourself. • Sand the edges down. This is to smooth out the edges to prevent them from snagging on anything. • Paint the board background a solid color. • Cut the bottoms off five or six plastic cups about two inches (5 cm) high. Staple or nail the bottoms to the board in whatever arrangement you want. It is recommended to put one in each corner and one in the middle. • Paint a numerical value above the cup: “5” for each corner cup and “10” for the middle. Use a strong cloth for the bean bags. Cut the cloth into squares or rectangular shapes. Probably 2 1/2″ (6.35 cm) will be big enough for a square shape. Sew around the square or rectangle, leaving enough room to pour in the beans. Then close the bag up with a few outside stitches.
