Making Cornhole Bags-Step by Spep

You can make or buy any style cornhole bags that you can think of. Any sports team, beer, cammo, John Deere, etc. Some tips is to use thick fabric and fishing string as thread. I have the luxury of picking up cornhole bags from a couple local gas stations. For most people that is not an option. You can either buy them online or make your own. You you think making your own bags is not for you, check out cornhole bags for sale. One of the best prices around.

A couple things I want to point out before I get started showing you how to make cornhole bags. First is most people use corn feed for the filler. This is ideal but some use hard beans or plastic pellets. Beans will work but you can get a large bag of corn feed from Tractor supply very cheap. Plastic beads cost more and though they will last longer they do not weigh as much as the corn so they will not be right. I would stay away from plastic.

Many people say to use duck canvas, though this is ideal duck canvas doesn't have many choices in color and style. Most people want a sports team or something that will match their theme. You can use any kind of fabric but it is recommended to use a thick stiff material. Don't go light weight or you will regret it later when one breaks open during game play.
Corn and beans will mold and swell if you get them wet. Never leave your cornhole bags out overnight. They will also break down over time. The bags should last you years unless you play every weekend. When that time comes you can refill them.

Ok, here we go. You will need to go to the store and buy:

• 2 different types of fabric, maybe 2 yards of each so you have extra
• Fishing string or heavy thread (upholstery)
• Bag or feed corn or what ever filler you will be using

Prep

Take your fabric and run it though the washer and dryer so it shrinks up.

Make the bags finally

Cut eight 7''x7'' squares from each type of fabric. Use a ruler or square tool to make sure they are straight.
Take two pieces of the same material and put them together. If you have designs on the fabric make sure they are facing each other.

Sew three of the four sides making sure you get the corners good one half  in from the sides. You will want to double or triple stitch all sides. Cornhole bags go through a lot of abuse being thrown around and smacking the wood cornhole boards over and over. If you like you can add some fabric glue  around the half inch you have on the sides. It can't do anything but help with the trauma the bags go through.

Ok, so at this point you have an inside out bag with one open end. Take the open end and sew the same as above only half way HALF WAY I SAID! Once that is done take the inside bag and flip the inside in so that the design you want to see is on the outside.

Measure out 2 cups of feed corn. If you have a scale you want 15.5 ounces of corn but 2 cups should be very close.

Put the corn in the bag you just made. You can use a rolled up piece of paper as a funnel.

Once you have the bag filled with corn we just need to sew up the opening. Make sure to sew heavy as this will be the weakest part of the bag. You don't want to get out and show them off just to have them break open and spill corn everywhere!

Your fist bag is done and 7 more to go!
