Lots of packing peanuts...

I read that it was cheaper to use packing peanuts from an office supply store than it was to use real beanbag pellets. This held 8.5 cubic feet of those suckers at $10/bag - luckily it was buy 2 get 1 free! Also luckily, the liner fabric was stuff I had already and the real fabric was $1/yd. So this will be a $41 beanbag which is larger than the ones at Target and my choice of fabric. I'll take it!!

Drew wanted it stuffed more so we put 2 more bags of peanuts in. Then I had a hard time stuffing it in the real bag. Plus that fabric's purple and he likes the blue stripe better. Tough - it has to coordinate with the room!

Oh, and my math is off - it was $1/yard and it took about 5 yards plus 2 zippers, so that's $49 - sorry.
