How the Beanbag got its Groove Back

 

Are you stuck with a flat, pitiful beanbag that the kids have tossed aside? Well, worry no more!!!

Before: Flat, pitiful beanbag and a child who looks happy, but all I have heard for weeks is how badly he wanted his chair fixed.

So, I had this brilliant idea to run over to the nearest mail store to see if I could have them fill it up with packing peanuts--It was my lucky day when they GAVE me two huge boxes worth that someone had dropped off for recycling!

I went home and found the opening, which luckily was just a double zipper. The fabric was in such great shape and I knew it needed to be saved somehow.

I had to prove to the boys that the inside was full of foam pellets…

They started off with good intentions…

And then it turned into this…

Styrofoam is NOT easy to clean up.

So, we resorted to the outdoor dust pan…

AND…….. POOF! All back to normal again.

I now have one happy camper…

…And that’s how our beanbag got its groove back!

If you are ever considering throwing out a deflated beanbag chair, stop by your nearest mail store and fill it up! However, I do suggest taking the beanbag chair and letting them put it directly under that big funnel of packing peanuts to fill the chair.

SAVE YOURSELF THE MESS.

Hope you all have a great week!

Miss you,
