Baggo Bags How To Make
First, you’ll need your materials: durable fabric (canvas or duck cloth work great), a sewing machine (or needle and thread if you’re feeling old-school!), scissors, a ruler, a funnel, and, of course, your filling! Dried corn or plastic pellets are popular choices. Pick a fabric that is durable and stain resistant if possible.
Next, cut your fabric into squares. Standard baggo bags are 6 inches by 6 inches, so cut out eight squares (four for each bag). This will give you two bags of the same color. Ensure your cuts are precise for a professional-looking finish. Consider using a rotary cutter for extra accuracy.
Now it’s time to sew! Place two fabric squares right sides together and sew around three and a half sides, leaving a gap for filling. Backstitch at the beginning and end to secure the seam. Flip the bag right side out and poke out the corners for a clean look. Repeat this step for all remaining bags you make.
Using your funnel, carefully pour your chosen filling into the bag until it’s about 3/4 full. This allows for a good grip and prevents the bags from being too rigid. Be careful not to overfill; a little give is what you want! Plastic pellets are great, because they are washable.
Finally, fold in the raw edges of the opening and sew it closed. Make sure to sew close to the edge for a secure seal. Backstitch again for extra durability. You’ve now completed one baggo bag! Repeat these steps until you have a full set of eight. Try to make two different color sets.
So, grab your fabric, dust off that sewing machine, and get ready to create some fantastic baggo bags. Not only will you have a blast making them, but you’ll also have a custom set to enjoy for years to come. Now that you have your own hand crafted bags, get ready to challenge your friends and family. Happy tossing!
