Bean Bag Toss {Guest Blogging on Sawdust and Paper Scraps!}


We are so excited to announce that we are guest posting over at Sawdust and Paper Scraps today, and have finally shared our secret project. A tutorial on making your own Bean Bag Toss game (otherwise known in the South as "Cornhole"). We hope you'll go over to Sandra's blog and show your Sew Woodsy love, and follow Sawdust and Paper Scraps while your at it--she's amazing!


Here are a few more "behind the scenes" pictures from our project:


Mr. Woodsy building the frames. 


Mr. Woodsy working on the legs. *You'll notice he has no safety glasses on. Don't worry--it was a posed picture! :) 


The bean bag toss boards almost complete!


Sanding the boards. 


Sewing a double stitch was key for this project! 


Corn feed to fill the bean bags. 


The final product.

  1. YAY I have been waiting for one of these tutorials to surface (not like I couldn't have googled one :) haha) BUT I'm glad it came up from the Woodsy's :) Larry will be excited--he's been wanting a set to have at the bar and now he can make one!! GOOD JOB YALL! :)

  2. We call it cornhole in the midwest too. My family calls me the Hole Saw Queen because I've made a bunch of regulation size and mini size for various things this year.

    Have you considered teaching Mr Woodsey to sew the bags and him teaching you to build the boards? It's a great beginner sewing and woodworking project!
