Bold blooms over a black background make this ... It's the softest – and cutest! All kids deserve a snuggly spot to call their own. Whether it’s for lounging, movie nights or just curling up with a good book, a pint-sized bean bag chair fits the bill. And while there are many of these available in stores, wouldn’t you rather make one as unique as your child? Complicated bean bag tutorials can be intimidating with all their sections and circle-ness. But what if I told you that with two pieces of fabric, one zipper and a straight stitch you could have an adorable kids bean bag chair in 30 minutes—would you believe me? Materials: two pieces of fabric (upholstery weight fabric is preferable), one 22″ zipper, 3.5 cubic feet of bean bag filling In the following directions, all seam allowances are 5/8″. 1. Cut two fabric pieces to 45″ x 32″. The fabrics can be identical or you can choose coordinating patterns for a two-toned look. 2. Turn right sides together.
On the long raw edges, use a zigzag stitch to prevent fraying. Then straight stitch the same edges. Due to the amount of abuse these seams will endure, I highly recommend using a small stitch length for durability. 3. Fold the fabric in half like a hot dog bun, matching up the sewn edges. 4. Starting from the folded side, round one end, removing approximately 6″ of material from the corner. 5. Open the fabric back up, and you should have a nice symmetrical curve on one side. Zigzag the raw edge, and again use your straight stitch to close. 6. Open the remaining unsewn edge. Keeping right sides together, fold in half the opposite way as shown below. 7. Sew your 22″ zipper into the center of this opening. I used an invisible zipper so it would be less noticeable when completed. 8. Finish your zipper installation by closing the zipper edge with a straight stitch on either side. 9. Turn the bean bag chair right side out and fill with beans! This kid-size chair takes exactly one bag of bean bag filling (3.5 cubic feet or 100 liters) to create the perfect plump.
There’s really no easy way to get those static cling-crazy little pellets inside without spilling a few. My best advice is to have two people holding the zipper open and a third person to pour—oh, and have your vacuum on standby! If this chair doesn’t beckon “come, relax,” I don’t know what does! Choosing to use two different fabrics means the bean bag chair is reversible too. Just flip it, and you’re rockin’ a whole new vibe—it’s two chairs in one! Whether you make one for your own child or give it as a gift, I guarantee this kids bean bag chair will become the new favorite snuggle spot. Keep in mind that bean bag filling pellets are a choking hazard! Because the zipper is accessible, please make these only for kids who are old enough to know better than to eat them. Editor’s Note: If you have any concerns about your child opening the zipper or you’re making for a young child, consider sewing the bag shut (knowing you will have to rip open the seam if you ever want to refill the “beans” and sew shut again).
It is never safe for a child to open the zipper or attempt to climb inside.Purchase specially designed Sunshine On a Ranney Day chairs and bean bag chairs for kids & teens and know that you are helping change the lives of some really deserving families.

He was the biggest life of the house,” Danielle Sanchez tells PEOPLE of her 1-year-old son, Leonardo. “There’s just a void here. It’s just very, very difficult.” Leonardo, who Sanchez called her “little Leo,” was playing under a pile of bean bag chairs at the West Jordan Child Center last week when an employee sat on the pile to read the children a story – suffocating the little boy in the process.
“He was such a bright, bright boy. He had such a loving, loving personality,” she tells PEOPLE. “He just loved being a part of what everyone else was a part of.” Sanchez says she was in disbelief when officers told her what happened. “I had to say it back to the officer, ‘So, you’re telling me right now that a teacher sat on my son? Sat on my baby? ‘ ” Sanchez recalls. “And he said, ‘Yes.’ She adds: “I have questions … it’s just frustrating, confusing. I want my baby boy back. And that’s not going to happen.” The mother says she got the call just after 10 a.m., “It was a daycare worker just screaming that ‘He’s not breathing.’ Sanchez arrived at a local hospital and struggled to learn the details of what happened to her son. She says it wasn’t until the boy was airlifted to a second hospital that police told her the details. It was not unusual for her son to play in the pile of bean bags, Sanchez tells PEOPLE.
“I can see the kids playing in the bean bags because when I’ve gone to pick them up, they’ve been playing in them and they’ll jump out and surprise me,” she says, noting that Leonardo was playing with another boy that day. “The boy came out [of the bean bags] but my son didn’t.” Sanchez says Leonardo, who would have turned 2 this week, was under the chair for up to 15 minutes before the employee realized he was there. She says the employee could have read one story and started another during that time. “Why wasn’t he kept track of? He’s the one you watched out for,” she says through tears. “If he was kept track of they would have known he was playing in the pile of bags.” The mother says she has “mixed emotions” about the employee who sat on her son. “My heart drops to the floor for her knowing she has to live with that for the rest of her life,” Sanchez tells PEOPLE. “I feel for her, yet I’m upset. I’m angry and I’m saddened.”
